Luke lived with his grandma during the last summer holidays. He was curious about everything in his grandma’s house. One
21
he stole into the storeroom where his grandma kept her valuable collections. He knew she did not like anyone to touch her treasures,
22
the cup she had won for skating. Luke walked around on tiptoe and felt the treasures one after another with excitement. He found the cup was not there. “Where is it?” he thought to himself. He raised his head and found it!
23
it was on the top of a shelf, he wanted to feel the cup again.
With the help of a ladder, Luke reached the cup. It was much heavier than it seemed. Luke
24
the cup and tried to get it down. While climbing down, Luke’s elbow struck against the ladder. He lost his
25
and fell down to the ground heavily. The
26
cup slipped out of his hands and broke into two halves.
Luke was too nervous to feel the
27
. He stood up quickly and felt heart-broken. He picked up the broken pieces with his shaking hands, put them back on the
28
and left the storeroom quickly. Grandma was watching TV in the living room. Luke went into his bedroom quietly so that his grandma would not
29
him.
That night was so
30
. He tossed and turned in bed. He could not fall asleep till midnight. He woke up and looked at the clock many times. Time seemed to go much slower. Early in the morning, Luke knocked on Grandma’s door with
31
.
Grandma hugged Luke thoughtfully and said, “That cup was
32
to me when I was only ten years old; I won the first prize in my
33
competition.” Luke followed Grandma to the storeroom. “I’m really sorry, Grandma,” Luke said
34
. With a smile, Grandma took down the broken glass cup and used glue to stick the broken pieces together. The cup was repaired miraculously!
She continued, “When I was young, I once messed up my uncle’s priceless painting. I was not as
35
as you. I didn’t tell the truth at first. It made me feel upset day and night. After a week’s struggle, I admitted my fault to my uncle. That was the most unforgettable moment. I think it is honesty that matters more than mistakes.”
