Almost all of us heard the story "Here Comes the Wolf" when we are little kids.What we can learn from the story is we must be honest.Therefore, there're lots of case of dishonesty nowadays.
Being honest does great harm to other people or to yourself.Take the case of fake milk powder for an example. After drink this kind of milk,the babies had big heads while their legs and arms were still thin,what badly affected their health.To my great relief,the producers got punishing so that more serious consequences could be avoided.
