It was one hot afternoon. As a cultural festival would be held in school, all the students were making preparations for it. Holden and his classmate Andrew were going to paint some flowers on a wall. They had to carry the necessary tools to the wall first. However, when they were walking across the basketball court, Holden dropped two paint cans by accident. The paint in them flew onto the floor and made it very dirty. He was shocked to see the mess he had made on the floor.
“Come on, Holden! Let’s go! Let’s go!” Andrew said anxiously. They picked up the cans and ran away. Holden thought it was lucky that no one discovered what he had done. An hour later, he passed by the basketball court alone and saw the school’s old cleaner Flex was cleaning the paint up. And he heard the principal (校长) talking with the cleaner.
“We have a meeting here tomorrow. This needs to be cleaned up immediately!” the principal told the poor old man, who was hanging his head and trying hard to clean up the mess. However, the paint was oil-based, and a large area of the floor was covered with paint; cleaning it was clearly a very difficult task.
But Flex replied he’d make sure it was ready for the next day and kept cleaning, with sweat (汗) flowing down his face. Before he left, the principal reminded Flex, “By the way, please don’t forget to cut the grass around the basketball court today.”
Holden felt terrible while watching the old man trying to make up for his mistake. But he decided to turn a blind eye to it. However, on his way home, the picture of the old man struggling to deal with his mess kept coming to his mind. It made Holden so regretful.
When he returned home, Holden decided that he needed to be responsible for his own mistake. He quickly put down his schoolbag and told his mother that he needed to go back to school
