美丽的欺骗。年轻的爸爸和九岁的儿子一起在放风筝。突然，刮起了一阵旋风，一棵小树的树枝把风筝紧紧地缠住了。于是，爸爸取来了一架梯子，准备往上爬。儿子说：爸爸，让我来吧！爸爸看了看九岁的儿子，想了想说：也好，让你来就让你来。儿子像个机敏的小猴子，转眼就爬到梯子的上端，解开了缠在树枝上的风筝线，转过头来对着爸爸嘻嘻地笑。儿子正要下来，爸爸制止了他：等一等。儿子愣住了，望着爸爸，问：怎么啦？爸爸说：我先讲个流传很广的真实故事给你听，听完之后你再下来。于是，儿子笑得更加开心了，一手抓住梯子，一手拿着风筝，等着听爸爸讲故事。因为爸爸讲的故事，总是引人入胜的。爸爸说：有一天，美国大富豪洛克菲勒扶着自己的小孙孙在地毯上做爬梯子的游戏。他鼓励小孙孙勇敢地往上爬，同时安慰地说：有爷爷扶着，不用怕！当小孙孙刚刚爬上梯子之后，老洛克菲勒便撒开了手，不再扶他的小孙孙。结果，小孙孙从梯子上摔下来。小孙孙哭哭啼啼地站起身来，问：爷爷，你为什么要骗我？这时，老洛克菲勒说：你看，连爷爷这样的亲人也靠不住，别人说的话就更不能全都相信了。停了一会儿，爸爸对儿子说：我们照着做一次，好不好？儿子一听，脸都吓白了。这么高，又没有地毯，怎么能行？爸爸说：不要怕，勇敢一点，只要跳这一次就行了，不会有什么大的危险。我要给你留下一个深刻的印象，免得你以后长大了，容易上人家的当。然而，儿子还是不敢跳，站在梯子上，纹丝不动。爸爸开始发号施令了：听着啊，我喊一,二,三，喊到三的时候你就跳下来，然后我就把伸出去假装要接住你的手缩回来。咬紧牙关，闭上眼睛，忍着眼泪，无可奈何的儿子终于从梯子上跳了下来。他认为自己的身体将像一个南瓜一样噗的一声，摔得肢离破碎然而，爸爸的身体没有移开，手也没有缩回去，而是把掉下来的儿子结结实实地抱在了怀中。儿子虽然没有受伤，但是神情比刚才更加疑惑。他问：爸爸，你为什么要骗我？爸爸笑出声来，说：爸爸是想让你知道，即使是别人的话，有时也是可以相信的。何况是爸爸的话呢？所有灿烂的阳光又都回到了儿子的脸上。他搂着爸爸，不住地吻着爸爸的双颊。突然，儿子又问：我还是不明白，那个狠心的老洛克菲勒为什么要骗自己的小孙孙？哲理故事爸爸耐心地解释：像洛克菲勒这样举世闻名的成功企业家，为了教育自己的孙子不惜改变自己在小孙孙心目中的偶像地位。如果把那架梯子看成是通向成功的阶梯，那么爬梯子就是在成功之路上向上攀登。老洛克菲勒是要告诉小孙孙一个重要的道理：成功主要靠自己。当然，老洛克菲勒知道，刚爬上梯子的小孙孙即使掉在地毯上，也不可能被真的摔坏。大道理：人生有时候要善于怀疑，但更多的时候要善于相信。
