One summer day when I was in high school, my father sent me to buy some tools for our farm. I loved nothing better than driving our family truck to do something. But this time I was not so happy because my father had told me I would have to ask for credit (赊账)at the store. Sixteen is a proud age. The young men at that age want respect (尊重)but not charity. I had seen many times that my friends were refused when they asked for credit. We lived in a poor village, money was needed seriously. I knew clearly how difficult it might be to make the store owner believe me and get the credit. At Davi’s Brothers store., Buck Davi was talking to a farmer. After I finished choosing the things I wanted, I walked to him. “I need to put these on credit.” I said to him carefully. The farmer gave me a strange look. But Buck’s face didn’t change in the slightest. “ No problem.” He said in a relaxing voice, “ I believe your daddy will pay for them in time.” Then he turned to the farmer, “ This boy is Jame William’s son.” The farmer nodded to me in a friendly way. At that time, I was full of pride. Jame William’s Son, there three words opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust. That day I discovered that a good name of great importance. My father’s good name had won our neighbors’ respect for our family. A good name, and the responsibility (责任)that came with it encouraged us a lot. They made us be better than we might be. We also wanted to be regarded as good people.By acting like good people for a long time, we became good out of good habits.
