   It was a windy day. I had kept an empty,washed glass bottle on the patio (露台) for drying,which I intended to use for some craft (工艺品) project. Because of the wind,the bottle rolled,fell and broke on my downstairs neighbor's patio.

I took a broom (扫帚) and cleaned up most of the mess (脏乱的东西) around his patio from outside,but there was still some broken glass left inside his patio.
