This is a true story which happened when I was eight years old.
One day in the afternoon， my mother and I went to take a bath. After we finished bathing， it was almost 6 o'clock in the evening. Of course I felt very hungry. My mother must be hungry too， I thought.
Luckily， she brought a small cake in her bag. But how could such a small one [cake] （1） satisfy two hungry persons？ My mother loves me very much. She gave me the whole cake， but nothing to herself. If I ate all the cake， what could my mother have？ I also know [knew] （2） that my mother would not accept it if I only said：“Mum， you are hungry， too. The cake for you.”
“Why not try another way？”I thought for a while. Then I pretended that I did not like the cake at all.“Mum， the cake tastes terrible，”I said.“Really？”Mother was very surprised. “It smells good. Well， I'll have it.”
“The cake's delicious，”she said to herself while she was having it. I really could not help laughing. Mother was more surprised.“What is the matter， dear？”“I've just told you a white lie.”“A white lie？ Oh， I understand now. You've just played a trick on me！”
We both laughed happily.
Sometimes a white lie is very helpful， isn't it？

評(píng) 語
文章簡(jiǎn)潔明快，采用了大量的直接引語以及直接引語式的思考內(nèi)容，使文章讀來更為生動(dòng)。文章中某些語言上的不足之處點(diǎn)評(píng)修改如下：
（1）這里指代cake的代詞one用得不夠有力，不如重復(fù)一下cake.
（2）根據(jù)上下文，這里用過去時(shí)為好。
