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 I got my dad's boots(靴子) and stamped it out．

But there was a huge hole lefton the floor.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) for months.Even worse though，the hole was still there，reminding me of what I did.
