The most dishonest thing I have done (Jill)
It is hard for me to recall the most dishonest thing that I have ever done. Nevertheless, a dishonest thing happened recently and which made me feel a little bit guilty. Last month when I went home, I, my brother and his friends took a bus. We had four people and the ticket was sold eighteen dollars per person, so we should pay seventy-two dollars in total. However, we totally only had fourteen dollars in our pockets. Because the bus wouldn’t give change, we decided to put all our money in to the box. Firstly, the bus driver looked at us doubtfully. After a while, he couldn’t help but ask my brother’s friend how many dollars we throw in the box. My brother answered seventy-two dollars without thinking. It was until then that the driver gave us tickets. At that time, I felt lucky but guilty. Because fourteen dollars even couldn’t afford one person to take a bus, and then we successfully got four tickets. My brother’s reaction was funny and quick-witted. If it was me to be asked, I would stammer and be caught. Although that experience was interesting, I think I will never do that again.

Well, thanks for sharing that. If the bus driver actually issued paper tickets (not like a Taipei city bus), I hope he did not have to make up the money himself!
