I have long heard that the story written by Zheng Yuanjie, the king of fairy tales, is full of interest and fascination. During the summer vacation, I finally bought the book Pipiru and the Music City of the Red Sofa. As soon as I got the book, I read it with relish. Sure enough, the stories in the book are all wonderful and suspenseful, just like there is a kind of magic that attracts me and makes me fondle it. Among these interesting stories, I like the story "Red Sofa Music City" best. It tells that there is a music city in a red sofa in Cpaing's house, which will play wonderful music, and only Cpaing and his sister Lu Xixi know it. They promised the commander-in-chief of Music City that they would never reveal the secret of Music City. Because, if others know about it, the Music City will face disaster. In order to keep his promise, Cpaing was misunderstood and despised. But he kept his promise, but he didn't tell anyone the secret about Music City.

Reading "Music City on the Red Sofa", I think of many stories about honesty that I have read. For example, because I promised in our mental health textbook. This is a true story. During World War II, there were two brothers in the French army. They promised each other that they would never leave each other. Unfortunately, my brother was killed in the war, and my brother risked his life to find his brother's body and carry it back to the camp. When the officer asked the elder brother why he did this, he said with tears in his eyes, "Because I promised that I would never leave him regardless of life or death." Whether it is an imaginative fairy tale or a touching true story, I understand the value of honesty and the meaning of "keeping a promise as good as a thousand dollars".

I remember before, I asked my mother what "a promise as good as a thousand dollars" meant. My mother didn't answer, but asked me to find the answer in a book called "Children's virtue story Series-Honesty". After reading the stories about honesty, I gradually understood the meaning of this idiom. Today, when I think of this idiom again, my heart is moved and ashamed. I am moved by the fact that Cpaing is not afraid of misunderstanding and contempt, and sticks to his promise, and I am ashamed that I often fail to keep my promise. My performance in class is not good, and the teacher often reminds me to pay attention. After my mother knew it, she told me a lot of truth. I promised my mother that I would correct my shortcomings and never make any small moves in class again. However, a few days later, my old habit recurred. Mom said with a straight face, "If you don't do what you promised your mother, I won't believe you next time." Looking at my mother's angry appearance, I bowed my head in shame. On several occasions, my mother wanted to go out for a meeting and told me to practice at home. I always readily agreed. However, as soon as my mother left, I began to play with my toys and forgot about playing the piano. Now that I think about it, I'm so sorry for mom! My mother cares so much about me, but I often don't keep my promise because I am playful, which makes my mother angry.

I'm determined to learn from Cpaing and Lu Xixi and be a good boy who keeps his word.
