Aleck was a seven-year-old boy. He lived next door to Tim and Tom. The twin brothers' birthday was coming, so he went to the shopping center to buy some presents for them. He was very happy when he got the presents. He ran through the shopping centre happily. He was so busy thinking about his friends that he did not look where he was going. He ran straight into a young woman who was pushing a baby in the pushchair. Aleck and the woman fell over onto the floor.
The woman was so angry that she could not speak. Aleck hurt his little finger and his hands were dirty. The baby in the pushchair started crying."You silly boy! Why don't you look where you are going? Help me pick up my bags," shouted the woman.
"I'm sorry," cried Aleck."Let me help you."
Aleck and the woman picked up her bags and put them under the pushchair. The baby stopped crying, and as the woman got into the lift, she said,"Be more careful next time."
