It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that”, and it is even harder to say

26、 “I was wrong, and you are right about that.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me that he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons( in ma

27、ny countries, eggs are sold by the dozen and are put in cartons). Then he related an incident and I began to remember unclearly the incident he was describing. I was about eight at that time. I went to the store with my mother to do some shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to

28、the food department where the incident took place. There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there were lots of eggs in dozen and half dozen cartons. The cartons were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of the piles of egg cartons. Just then a woman came by p

The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees looking at some of the cartons to see if

30、any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the one who just did it. He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs.
