A teacher had been very annoyed by some of the boys whistling during school hours. At last he knew he would have to punish anyone who repeated the offence（过错）.
The next morning, when the room was quiet, a loud whistle was heard! The students were surprised, and the teacher at once looked around to discover the offender. The blame（指责）fell on a bad boy who was often in trouble, he strongly denied（否认）whistling. However, his words were not believed, for he was not a truthful boy.

I spoiled it all, and before I knew what I had done, I had whistled out loud! I am very sorry, I did not mean to whistle, I cannot let John be punished for my fault.” He held out his hand to be punished!
