wise man said, “Never tell lies __47___always speak the truth.” The man___48__
to do so and went home.
At night the man was about to go out to
steal. Before setting out, he __49__for a moment about the promise he made to
the wise man. “If he asks me where I have been, what shall I say? Shall I say
that I went out__50__?” No, I cannot say that, but nor can I __51__. If I tell
the truth, everyone will start __52__me and call me a thief. I would be __53__
for stealing.” So the man __54__ not to steal that night, and gave up this
__55__ habit.
Next day, he __56__ to drink wine. When he
was about to do so, he said to himself, “What shall I say to the wise man
__57__he asks me what I did during the day? I cannot tell a lie.” And so he
gave up the __58__ of drinking wine.
In this __59__, whenever the man thought of
doing something bad, he __60___ his promise to tell the truth at all times.
__61___, he gave up all his bad habits and became a very __62__ person.
Telling the truth is a very good __63___.
