Koh Ren Hao, Irfan, 1E3

Mrs Sumiko sighed heavily.
Mrs Itosan immediately knew this was a bad sign. She looked at Mr Sumiko, and then at Izumi.
Mrs Sumiko started the conversation again by giving an account of some of the things Izumi did in school that day. “Your son is a very careless boy. I am afraid that he will meet an accident any day sooner. I am sorry but I am not cursing your son. I really hope your son will change his ways as he had a very unfortunate day today.”
"How bad was it?" asked Mrs Itosan.
Mrs Sumiko then said, “He started off well during the first lesson today. Then, he tripped on a stone. He broke the hamster’s cage and the science teacher had to clean it up himself, in case Izumi made more mistakes.”
Izumi kept repeating that he was sorry and would not do it again. They bade Mrs Sumiko goodbye. Mr and Mrs Itosan got into the car, glancing at their son in the rearview mirror.
“Sorry mom,” muttered Izumi.
“You need to change, boy!” Mrs Itosan said. “If you keep this up, you will surely get into an accident just like Mrs Sumiko said!”
Izumi sat at the back quietly, reflecting on what he had done and how to change his carelessness.
