One day, Alan’s family visited
Grandma, who lived in a village in the New Territories. His parents were busy
talking with Grandma so they ordered Alan and his brother Zeto to play outside.
‘I’m bored. Let’s
have some fun!’ Alan suggested.
‘Oh! It’s a good
idea!’ Zeto replied excitedly.
They looked around
and saw some ripe and big papayas.
‘I know it!’ Alan
shouted loudly and looked cunning. He bought some firecrackers from a nearby
store.
‘What’re you going to
do with the firecrackers?’ Zeto asked and looked puzzled.
Alan giggled and
said, ‘It’s a secret. Just wait and see!’ Shortly after that, Alan picked two
papayas from a tree behind them. Then, Alan ordered Zeto to insert the
firecrackers into the papayas. Zeto finally understood Alan’s naughty trick.
They lit the
firecrackers and ran away quickly. They hid behind a strong tree and observed
nervously what was going to happen.
‘BOMB! BOMB!’ The
papayas exploded one by one loudly. Seeing that, they were thrilled with joy.
While they were
laughing, the owner appeared suddenly. He roared furiously at them. ‘Thieves!
Thieves!’ He caught them immediately.
The two boys were afraid.
The owner scolded them harshly and informed their parents about their
misbehaviour.
His mother punished
them by not allowing them to play video games for a month. Finally, they learned
that they were wrong and should respect the property of others.
Meanwhile, Mike had a
chance to hit the ball. He wanted to show his skill, so he jumped high up and
used all his strength to make a spike. Suddenly, he heard everyone burst into
laughter. Unluckily, he knew that his sport pants split, so his underpants were
shown to everyone. He was embarrassed.
