打死我也决不说谎。每年5月2日,美国的孩子们都要举行各种活动,纪念这个具有特殊意义的日子诚实节。这个节日来自一个悲惨而真实的故事。许多年以前,在美国的威斯康星州蒙特罗市,有一个名叫埃默纽。旦南的男孩子。他五岁的时候,父母双亡,生活无依无靠,成了一个孤苦伶仃的孩子。有个名叫顿诺的酒店老板,到了不惑之年也没有孩子,便对旦南说:你到我的店里来吧,我收养你。等你长大些,也能帮我干活。顿诺老板在当地的口碑很不好,许多人说,他这样做只是企图讨个慈善的好名声。走投无路的旦南,非常高兴地认诺顿夫妇为养父母。他年龄虽小,但忧患和磨难使他变得格外懂事。每当他看到酒店有什么力所能及的活,总是抢着干。他对养父母也很尊敬,孝顺,一家三口,日子过得还算和顺。转眼之间,就过去了三年,旦南长到了八岁。他更加懂事,辛勤劳动,待人诚恳,彬彬有礼,是个人见人夸的好孩子。旦南渐渐发现,养父母总是挖空心思地算计怎样坑骗顾客,往酒里兑水,多收顾客的钱,可以说是家常便饭。他有时劝养父母,不要赚昧心钱。养父母非但不听,有时候还顺手给他两巴掌,骂他吃里扒外。久而久之,旦南成了他们的眼中钉,越看越不顺眼,加在他身上的拳脚也越来越多。一天晚上,劳累了一天的旦南躺下睡得正香,忽然,只听啊的一声惨叫,随后就是一片寂静,一点声音也没有了。旦南不知发生了什么事,连忙起床,蹑手蹑脚地走到养父母的房间,顺着门缝向里看去,把他吓得手脚冰凉。只见那个小来店里喝酒的顾客倒在地上,胸口上插着的尖刀还在轻轻地颤动。被杀的顾客是个比较有钱的商人,经常到店里来喝酒。养母站在旁边,搓着两手,不停地嘟嚷着:你杀了他,这怎么好?他死了,死了旦南看到这图财害命的可怕一幕,情不自禁地喊到:天啊,你们这是在干什么?养父听到后大惊失色,立即推开门,抓住旦南的头发,把他拖了进来。随后,一反常态,装出无奈而悲哀的样子说:孩子,你都看见了,这个商人喝醉了酒,竟然行凶,爸爸在自卫中失手杀了他,对吧?这把刀也是他带来的,对吧?明天警察来了,你就这样说。旦南像木头人一样坐在那里,眼睛一直没离开商人的尸体。过了好一会儿,他扑通一声跪在地上,把头埋在养父的膝盖上,哭着说:爸爸,你说得不对。我知道,是你杀了人。爸爸,我求你,快去警察局自首吧!那样,我们一家人才能都活下去养父气得脸色发青,抬起一脚把旦南踢倒在地,厉声喊道:你这个小杂种,想把爸爸送上法庭吗?快说,是那商人要行凶必须这样说,你要向我发誓!旦南捂着胸口,抬起头,说:不!我不能说谎,是你杀了人,你应该去自首啪!的一声,旦南又挨了一记耳光。养母也扑上来帮凶,拳打脚踢,随后又拿出一根绳子,把旦南结结实实地捆起来。接着,他们一起动手,把旦南吊到了楼板上。养父取来一根鞭子,啪的一声抽在旦南身上,说:好啊,你不说谎!那你就去死吧!死吧!旦南的头上,豆粒大的汗珠不断渗出来,但仍然很倔强地说:打死我也决不说谎!鞭子雨点般落在旦南身上,养母又取来一根棍子,没头没脑地乱打一顿,边打边问:快说,这商人是怎么死的?说对了就放你下来。旦南睁开黯然无光的眼睛,有气无力地说:是你鞭子,棍子再一次雨点般打下来,旦南浑身抽搐着,突然拼命似地喊到:不,我不说谎!打死我也决不说谎!此后,头就猛然垂到了胸前,一动不动了。养父母面面相觑,知道又闯下了杀人大祸。天网恢恢,疏而不漏。养父母的罪行终于暴露了,尽管他们在法庭上百般狡辩,但还是不得不供出事情的经过与真相。他们终因谋杀罪而被逮捕,并受到了法律的惩罚。www.rensheng5.com事后,威斯康星州政府为纪念这个诚实而勇敢的孩子,决定将他不幸去世的5月2日定为诚实节,并为他建造了一块纪念碑和一座塑像。那块纪念碑上镌刻着这样的话:怀念为真理而死的人,他在天堂永生。直到现在,每到5月2日,纪念碑前总堆满了表示哀悼的鲜花。每一个走过这里的人,都会由衷地向这无畏的诚实者表示敬意。大道理:有的人能在所有的时候欺骗一些人,有的人在一些时候能欺骗所有的人,但没有人能在所有的时候欺骗所有的人。诚实的人,永远会赢得所有人的敬重。
