“Did Izumi get into trouble?” whispered Mrs. Itosan to herself.
Mr. and Mrs. Itosan walked to Izumi and Mrs. Sumiko. Hoping not to hear a bad remark about Izumi from Mrs. Sumiko, they had planned to say goodbye to Mrs. Sumiko and walked away with their son in tow. Unfortunately, they were stopped by Mrs. Sumiko.
“I’m sorry Mr. and Mrs. Itosan. I’m actually here to talk about Izumi’s behavior. He knocks down the test tubes and beakers in the science lab constantly. Does he have any medical problem in hand-eye coordination?” queried Mrs. Sumiko.
“No Mrs. Sumiko. He’s just very careless. I’m so sorry for Izumi's carelessness,” said Mr. Itosan feeling ashamed.
“It’s okay. I hope that from now on Izumi would be more careful when he is handling things,” said Mrs. Sumiko with a gentle smile.
Izumi felt very disappointed as he had actually made his parents ashamed. Izumi waved goodbye to Mrs. Sumiko as he and his parents walked out ofthe gate. Along the way home, there was no conversation between him and his parents. Finally, Izumi ended the silence.
“I’m sorry mum and dad. I’m sorry that you keep on hearing bad remarks about me instead of good ones,” said Izumi, feeling that he was a useless son at that moment.
“It’s okay Izumi. Nobody is perfect. It's just that you have to learn from your mistakes. You have to try not to repeat your mistake if you really intend to change,” Mrs Itosan told her son.
After hearing the advice from Mrs. Itosan, Izumi made up his mind. He took more care in his work and soon, he was less clumsy and started to receive compliments from his teacher.
