After I graduated from the police academy, I couldn’t wait to do my best to save the world. However, I found out on my first day that I still had a lot to learn.

That morning, I arrived at the police station early. At 7 a.m., I went into my office and waited for new orders. Suddenly, I realized that I hadn’t brought my walkie-talkie. I went back to my locker, but I couldn’t open it.

I saw a long stick lying next to the lockers and used it to hit the door. The locker opened, but I was amazed that it was empty. I thought I was going to be in trouble for losing my walkie-talkie on my first day.

It turned out that I broke into the wrong locker. I went to my boss to admit my mistake. He told me to ask next time. I knew he was thinking, “You are a silly newcomer!”

After lunch, I received a call for an alarm at a building. This could be a theft. We arrived at the scene and found a closed company building. It was surrounded by a two-meter-high fence on the top. The owner was away. I offered to help. I climbed the fence and got up to the top. But I found I was afraid of heights. All of my colleagues laughed and helped me come down at last.
