Grandfather was a wise and honorable man. His house was not far from ours, and I would visit him often going home after school.
No matter how rotten I had been, I could tell Grandpa anything. My secrets were safe. Whenever there was a problem, he gave me the tools to fix it. I knew I would always find the best answer from him. He always understood. He loved me.
I remember a time when a bunch of us were playing baseball in the field behind Mrs. Ferguson's house. I hit one pitch(投球) just right and slammed! It was a home run(全垒打) that soared high and away, and ended up breaking Old Lady Ferguson's kitchen window! We all ran! Walking home, my best friend, Tom, asked, "How will she ever know who did it? She's blinder than a bat!" He had a point.
I was afraid that Mrs. Ferguson would stay mad at me, so I ran. I didn't know what she would do. I tried to calm down. However, my stomach was in knots(痉挛). On the way home, I imagined that she was a mean witch chasing me, and the further way I ran, the larger she grew... until finally she towered over the whole town, seeing my every move with an evil eye. Thoughts rushed through my mind. Would Mrs. Ferguson stay mad at me? Would she call police? Worse still, would she tell my parents I couldn't even imagine the disappointment on Mom and Dad's face. They were hoping I would act honestly and in a responsible way.
I decided to stop by Grandpa's. I felt ashamed. I wanted to hide. I wanted to knock my head against a tree a thousand times and make the world just go away — as if punishing myself could undo(消除) things.
"I would tell everything to Grandpa," a voice inside me said.
"I was wrong." I told him, with my head down. He must have known something was up by the expression on my face. He knew we had been warned many times about the dangers of playing where we shouldn't.
