　　One of the qualities that most people admire others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes．It is extremely hard sometimes．

　　I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago．He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons(箱子)．Then he related an incident and I began to remember clearly the incident he was describing．

　　I was about eight years old at that time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping．On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place．

　　There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons．The cartons were stacked three or four feet high．I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks．Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons．For some unknown reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work．

　　The manager heard the noise and rushed over to see what had happened．When he appeared, I was on my knees examining some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the criminal．He severely scolded me and _______．I protested(抗议)my innocence(清白)and tried to explain, but it did no good．Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, obviously the manager did not．
