I got out of the train station with my father . A woman came to him and said that her 1 had been stolen. She asked if he could lend her some money to go back home . My father gave her what she asked for and told her not to 2 paying it back . I was shocked . How could my father be so 3 ? It was clear that she was telling a lie , staying at the station all day long 4 money . “She was lying !” I shouted , “Why did you give her anything ?” My father looked at me . He was a bit angry . “And what would you like me to do ?” he said , “ Should I tell 5 that I am a college professor and I can see through her scam ( 诡计 )” I did not understand him at all , and then he told me something that I have never forgotten . “First, she would not do this 6 she did not need the money . Second , I made her day , because now she thinks that she is 7 than me . It is more important to her than the money , but I do not 8 this .” A week later , we were at the same 9 , and the same woman came to my father with the same story . “Not this time ,” my father told her . “ In your business , you should learn to recognize people . Try another story 10 me next week .”
