有人看到你了。正值丰收时节，一个人心术不正，打算悄悄跑到邻居家的麦田中偷一些麦子。如果我从每块田中偷一点儿，谁也不会察觉到。他心想，但是如果是这样的话，加起来数目可就非常可观了。于是他等到一个伸手不见五指的夜晚，黑云遮盖了明月，他偷偷带着女儿离开家。到了邻居家的麦田里后，他压低声音说道：孩子，你得给我站岗，如果有人来就大声喊我。然后这人溜进第一块麦地，开始收割。不一会儿，就听到女儿喊道：爸爸，有人看到你了。这人一听，吓了一大跳，马上紧张地向四周看了看，但是一个人也没有看到，于是他把割下的麦子收拾起来，走进了第二块麦地。刚开始割了一会儿，女儿又大声喊道：爸爸，有人看到你了。这人又马上停下来，立即向四周张望，但还是什么人也没看到。他又收了些麦子，然后来到第三块麦地。过了一会儿，女儿再次大声叫道：爸爸，有人看到你了。这人又一次停下手中的活，向四周望了一下，但还是什么人也没有看到。于是他把割下的麦子捆好，然后悄悄地溜进最后一块麦地。爸爸，有人看到你了。女儿又叫了起来。这人停止收割，向四下看去，可是仍然连一个人影都没有看到。他十分生气，责问女儿：你为什么总是说有人看到我了。每次我四处看了看，却什么人也没看到。爸爸，那孩子低声说道，有人从天上看到你了。教育哲理：任何不诚实的行为都无法长久隐藏，家长更应该以身作则。
