C
My grandfather often said “I won’t” to show his dislike of dishonesty (不诚实). When he was young, he worked ___1___ a furniture (家具) maker. One day, a neighbor invited him to make some furniture. When arriving, he noticed the wood provided was a little ___2___, so he said, “I won’t start right away.” He chose to let the wood dry for a month. He knew working with wet wood could cause ___3___ later on.
Around the same time, another furniture maker was also asked for a ___4___ job by a different family. Unlike my grandfather, he ___5___ working right away. As a result, the neighbor started doubting my grandfather, thinking he was trying to make more money by ___6___ the work. However, my grandfather waited ___7___. He wanted the best quality for the furniture he was making.
A month later, the other furniture maker received his ___8___ and went back home. My grandfather began to ___9___ strong and beautiful furniture when the wood was completely dry. A few months passed and the furniture made by that maker began to break. The neighbor then regretted ___10___ my grandfather and said sorry to him. People came to understand his ___11___ and skill, spreading his fame far and wide.
Influenced by my grandfather, my father also follows the ___12___ of “I won’t”. He always provides the freshest food, which makes his restaurant very ___13___ in town. Once a trader wanted to sell some cheap but smelly seafood to my father, he said “No!” and stopped the ___14___.
Now, my brother and I keep in mind ___15___ our grandfather and father taught us. Through ups and downs in life, we’ve come to deeply understand our family value behind this saying—to be truthful and honest.
