Last week, my friend Allan and I were playing catch in my yard. The ball hit my neighbor's window because of my fault. The window broke into many pieces.
We were scared and hid. Mr. Jones, the neighbor, came running out of his house and looked around to see who threw the ball. We didn't come out until Mr. Jones went back into his house. So he had to repair the broken glass with his own money.
Later, my mom and I were talking. She told me about the broken window. “Poor Mr. Jones.” she said. “He's such a nice guy. I can't believe anyone would break his window and not stay around to apologize.”
Right away, I knew what I had to do. I told Mom that I broke the window by accident. Mom said I could easily correct that mistake. She said I should go right over now and admit my mistake. It wasn't easy, knocking on Mr. Jones's door and telling him what I had done.
Mr. Jones looked at me after I explained what happened. He was not angry at all. I told him that I would save my money and pay back every penny of it. Mr. Jones smiled. “It's not the money that matters,” he said. “I was really hurt that someone would do that to me without stopping to apologize. Now that you have come and explained the accident, I feel good again.”
