Question

10．One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes．It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like"I was wrong about that，"and it is even harder to say，"I was wrong，and you were right about that．"
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 store in the neighborhood where I grew up，and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons （in many countries，eggs are sold by the dozen and are put in cartons．） Then he related an incident （event，matter） and I began to remember unclearly the incident he was describing．
I was about eight years old at the time．I went into the store with my mother to do some shopping．On that particular day，I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place．
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there were lots of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons．The cartons were put three or four feet high．I must have stopped in front of the piles of egg cartons．Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the cartons．For some reason，I decided it was up to me to put the eggs back together，so I went to work．
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened．When he appeared，I was on my knees looking at some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken，but to him it looked as though I was the one who just did it．He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs．I tried to explain，but it did no good．Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident，it is plain that the manager did not．
