Four years ago when I was a boy of 11,I got into the biggest trouble as a kid.It was a Saturday morning.Both my parents were out,leaving me and my 10-month-old sister home alone.Anyway,my sister was still asleep in her room.In fact I had the house to myself.I decided to do some drawing.Soon I gave up.Nothing was on TV,so I felt bored and touched the candles on the shelf…I had an idea! What would happen if I set fire to some kitchen paper? Well,of course it went on fire,but it wasn't the tiny flame(火苗) I'd expected,and I couldn't blow it out.I threw it on the floor,and then I got my dad's boots(靴子) and stamped it out

But there was a huge hole lefton the floor.When my mum came home later,she smelt the smoke immediately.She dropped the shopping bag,luckily for me,over the hole.I thought this meant she would never see it.However,after running round the house checking for a fire,she of course picked up the bag and saw the hole.Next I was grounded(关禁闭) for months.Even worse though,the hole was still there,reminding me of what I did.

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.

The second shop, though a little more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth. I realized that my approach must be wrong so I decided to try another way. I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair? Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK. I’ll give you twenty pounds for it,” he said. “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I added. “Yes, I saw that. It’s nothing,” the shopkeeper replied.

Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell after the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” the man asked in surprise. “Yes, I know. But I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly_________He shouted, “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said, “And what would you have said if I had walked in and asked you to repair my chair?” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it. We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll repair this for you. Five pounds will be the cost,” the man answered. He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
