Question

Four years ago when I was a boy of 11, I got into the biggest trouble as a kid. It was a Saturday morning. Both my parents were out, leaving me and my 10-month –old sister home alone. Anyway, my sister was still asleep in her room. In fact I had the house to myself. I decided to do some drawing. Soon I gave up. Nothing was on TV, so I felt bored and touched the candles on the shelf …I had an idea! What would happen if I set fire to some kitchen paper?

Well, of course it went on fire, but it wasn’t the tiny flame(火苗) I’d expected, and I couldn’t blow it out .I threw it on the floor, and then luckily got my dad’s boots(靴子)and stamped it out

I thought I was safe until there was a HUGE hole in my room. When my mum came home later, she smelt the smoke immediately. She dropped the shopping bag, luckily for me, over the hole. I thought this meant she would never see it .However, after running round the house checking for a fire, she of course picked up the bag and saw the hole .Next I was grounded(關(guān)禁閉) and in trouble for months. Even worse, the hole was still there, reminding me of what I did.
