Tony, a nine-year-old kid, is sitting at his desk when suddenly he wets (尿湿) his pants. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he can't possibly know how this has happened. It has never happened before. He knows the after-effect (后果) -When the boys find out, he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.
Tony puts his head down and say to himself, "Oh, no. What can I do? I need help now!"
He looks up and notices the teacher coming, with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.
As the teacher is walking to him, a classmate named Emily is carrying a glass that is full of water. Emily falls down in front of the teacher and drops the glass of water in Tony's pants. Tony seems to be angry, but all the while he is saying to himself, "Thank you, dear! Thank you, dear!"
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the person that everyone laughs at, Tony is the person of sympathy (同情). The person that everyone laughs at should be him, but now it is Emily.
She tries to help, but they tell her, "You've done enough, you stupid!"
At the end of the day, as they were waiting for the bus, Tony walks over to Emily and says in a low voice, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
Emily says back in a quiet voice, "I wet my pants, too."
