Honesty

诚实

一个投资顾问决定自立门户，成立她自己的公司。因为精明和勤奋，她的生意很快就越来越红火了。于是不久，她就意识到她得请一个专门的法律顾问。这个投资银行家就开始面试一些年轻的律师。

“我相信您一定能理解，” 她对第一个申请者说，“做我们这种生意的，个人信誉必须是毫无疑问的。”她往前凑了凑说，“Mayberry先生，您是个诚实的律师吗?”

“诚实?”应试者答道。“我告诉您一件有关诚实的事吧。我是如此诚实，我爸借给我一万五千美金上学，我在接手第一个案子后就还清了每一分钱。”

“真不错。那是个什么样的案子呢?” 投资顾问问。

他有点不安地扭了扭身子，承认道，“我老爸为了那笔钱起诉我。”
