3.There is a 9-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden,there is a puddle (一滩水) between his feet and the front of his pants are wet.He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened.It's never happened before,and he knows that when the boys find out they will never let him forget it.When the girls find out,they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.
The boy believes his heart is going to stop.He puts his head down and prays:"This is an emergency!I need help now!Five minutes from now I'm dead meat."
He looks up from his prayer,and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.
As the teacher is walking toward him,a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water.Susie trips in front of the teacher and spills the bowl of water in the boy's lap.
The boy pretends to be angry,but all the while is saying to himself."Thank God!"
Now all of a sudden,instead of being made fun of,the boy gets sympathy.The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out.All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk.The sympathy is wonderful.But the ridicule that should have been his is given to someone else-Susie.She tries to help,but they tell her to get out."You've done enough!"
