    Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast. "Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?" Mum asked him. "We will have an English spelling test today, Mum," Peter said. "Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I've been studying the wordlist since last week. I am well prepared for them." Peter reviewed the spelling of each word again while Dad drove him to school. 

    At last, it was time for the students to have a test. "Responsibility." Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. "The second word: contribution," Mr. White said. "So easy," Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. 

    Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. "I am to mark your papers now, " he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, "Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!"

    Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary—the one he liked best. "This is my happiest moment," Peter thought. 

    After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word "contribusion" confused him. It didn't seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the wordlist. "C-O-N-T-R-I-B-U-S-I-O-N," he whispered. He spelled it wrong. "What am I to do?" Peter said to himself. "If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I'll have to give my prize back, or I'll become an example for telling a lie."

    Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum once taught him, "We ought to be an honest person."
