Breaking A Vase At Home

One rainy afternoon, Sammy and I felt bored at home. We could not play outside the house because it was raining outside. We went to our bedroom and found a ball under Sammy’s bed. We quickly got it out from under the bed. Then we decided to play ‘Catch the ball’. While playing, I threw the ball too high. It knocked down a beautiful vase that was sitting on a bookshelf. It fell and shattered into smithereens on the ground. Our mother heard the loud crash and came rushing into the room. When she saw the broken vase on the floor, she stared at us furiously with her big round eyes like saucers. She scolded her children sternly. We apologised to her and promised not to play ball inside the house again. Our mother forgave us for breaking her favourite vase and we gave a big sigh of relief. (By Jaymee Waters, BU2)
