主题
选择，贪婪，尊崇神，声誉
宝藏图 2份
剪刀
时间
约7分钟
课前准备
打印两份宝藏图。将每张图从中间折叠，然后将地图再对折一次。将地图折叠，以使宝藏箱位于某个角。下面在剪时，要剪掉足够的地图角，使宝藏箱不再出现在地图上。
说明
1.做：
在讲述故事时，逐渐剪掉一个地图的四个角，该地图代表不诚实的推销员的产品。
2.说：
假设有两名新推销员被一家名为“古老世界宝藏地图”的公司聘用。两名推销员分别是鲍勃和弗雷德。起初，这两名推销员工作都非常努力。他们都会早早地到达工作岗位，并在深夜工作到很晚。他们非常投入，他们会一边在办公桌上吃午餐，一边工作。不久，鲍勃和弗雷德都有了很多客户。
一天晚上，弗雷德下班回家后，心里想：“我为什么要拼命工作？我已经有很多客户了。我想轻松些。”第二天，弗雷德上班迟到了。他开始休息了，给自己越来越多的咖啡时间，并且不再接听所有的电话。弗雷德变懒了。（剪掉折叠地图的一个角。）
不久后，弗雷德开始用公司的名义享受长时间的午餐，还把账记在公司名下，声称他是在请客户吃午餐，但实际上这只是一半的事实。弗雷德变得不诚实了。（剪掉折叠地图的另一个角。）
老板注意到弗雷德的销售额在不停地下降，并远远落后于公司的明星销售员鲍勃。弗雷德开始以更高的价格向客户出售更便宜的产品，试图让公司看到他能赚很多钱。弗雷德开始欺骗他的客户。（剪掉折叠地图的另一个角。）
弗雷德的恶劣计划没有奏效，他在失去客户。老板把弗雷德叫到办公室，问弗雷德为什么失去了那么多客户。弗雷德想了一会，然后说谎道：“这是鲍勃的错，他抢走了我的客户。”老板很快发现弗雷德向他撒了谎，就立即解雇了他。弗雷德还成了一个撒谎者。（剪掉地图的最后一个角。然后展开两张宝藏地图，让所有孩子都能看到。）
你更愿意买哪张地图，完整的地图还是有许多缺失的地图？（允许各种回答。）
在今天的故事中，我们看到玷污自己是多么容易。玷污自己，换句话说，就是失去或毁坏我们的正直和声誉。当我们玷污自己时，我们是在人和神前玷污自己。作为基督徒，我们应该不断努力遵循神的律法和诫命。当我们跟随神时，我们可以放心地说我们的声誉是安全的。

CUTTING CORNERS
We should be careful to follow God's standards, so that we do not defile ourselves and ruin our reputation.
TOPICS: Choices, Greed, Honor God, Reputation
MATERIALS: Treasure map (2 copies) [PDF] Click here Scissors
DURATION: Approximately 7 minutes
PREPARATION: Print out two copies of the treasure map. Fold each map in half-length wise, and then fold the maps in half again. Fold the maps in such a way, so as the treasure chest is located in one of the corners. Make sure that you cut off enough of the corners so that the treasure chest is no longer on the map.
WHAT YOU WILL DO: As you tell the story, you slowly clip off the four corners of one of the maps that will represent the dishonest salesman's product.
WHAT YOU WILL SAY: Let's suppose two new salesmen were just hired by a company called Old World Treasure Maps. The salesmen's names were Bob and Fred. Initially both salesmen worked very hard. Both of them would arrive at work early and work late into the night. They were so dedicated that they ate lunch at their desks while they continued to work. Soon both Bob and Fred had many customers. One night after getting home from work, Fred thought to himself, "Why am I knocking myself out at work? I have plenty of customers. I think I'll start taking it easy." The next day Fred was late for work. Fred starting taking more and more coffee breaks during the day and did not answer all his phone calls. Fred was getting lazy. (Clip one corner off the folded map.) Soon Fred was taking long lunches and charging them to the company, stating that he was taking customers to lunch, when in fact this was true only half of the time. Fred was becoming dishonest. (Clip another corner off the folded map.) The boss noticed that Fred's sales were steadily decreasing and mentioned that he was falling way behind the company's star salesperson, Bob. Fred began to sell his customer's cheaper products at a higher price to try to make it look like he was making a lot of money for the company. Fred began to cheat his customers. (Clip another corner off the folded map.) Fred's evil plan did not work and he was still losing customers. The boss called Fred into his office and asked Fred why he was losing so many customers. Fred thought for a moment and then lied, "It's Bob's fault, he's stealing all my customers." The boss soon found out that Fred had lied to him and fired him on the spot. Fred had also become a liar. (Clip off the last corner of the map. Then unfold both the treasure maps and hold them up, so all the kids can see them.) Which map would you rather buy, the map that is complete or the map that has many missing pieces? (Allow for answers.) In our story today, we saw how easy it is to become defiled. In other words, lose or ruin our integrity and reputation. When we defile ourselves, we defile ourselves before men and God. As Christians, we should continually strive to follow God's laws and commandments. When we follow God we can rest assured that our reputations are safe.
