A time someone didn’t tell me the whole truth (Please help me correct it!)
When I was on my summer break after my first year at university, I was interning at an internet company. My birthday is always during the summer break, so there would be few friends around to celebrate with me.
Especially on that birthday, my friends were all in different cities.
That morning, I received many best wishes messages from them and they apologized that they could not have a get-together with me. I told them that was all right.
But then in the evening, I suddenly received a special gift they made. They had dubbed a part of my favorite film and it looked really funny, because they were very bad at dubbing. Still, I appreciated the thought.
What is more, every one of them recorded other video clips offering me their best wishes. After that, we had a video chat online together.
So they told me a white lie, that they could not prepare any gift for me, but actually they had planned to surprise me. As a result, they totally got me.
That gift made me very happy and excited, and it also encouraged me to move on with my internship at that time, and now it has become a special memory of mine.
