I stood there listening to my father shout at top of his voice,“ _______one of you did this?” We all stared down at the step. There was child’s handwriting in chalk there. Would he guess it was me? I was so ___. When he asked me, I lied, “Not me, Dad.” The others denied (否认) it as well. Of course, we all knew that one of us _____ have done it. But as the youngest and smallest of the three, I just couldn’t find the courage to tell the ____ .

To find out who had written on the ____ , Father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want _____of you to write exactly what you see on the step.” I tried my best to write the words _____ . I didn’t want Dad to be able to tell it was me. He gathered up our pieces of paper and looked at them. “Since none of you will admit (承认) to have done it, then I will ____ you all.” I stood there and said nothing. “I did it.” My sister stepped forward and said she had done _____ she hadn’t. She was grounded (被罚不准出门) for a month. I didn’t tell my dad it was really me _____ many years later. I always felt sorry because of it. That was the last time I let anyone take the blame (承担责任) for me.
