“我”和邻居
Last week, my friend Allan and I were playing catch in my yard. The ball hit my neighbour's window because of my fault. The window broke into many pieces.
We were scared and hid. Mr. Jones, the neighbour, 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 say sorry.”
Right away, I knew what I had to do. I told Mom that I had broken the window by accident and run away. Mom said I could easily fix that mistake. She said I should go right over now and make up my mistake. It wasn't easy, knocking on Mr. Jones' door and telling him what I had done.
Mr. Jones looked at me after I explained what had happened. He was not angry at all. I asked him how much it cost to repair the window. 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 because someone would do that to me without saying sorry. Now that you have come and explained the accident, I feel good again.”
