I stood there listening to my father shout at top of his voice. The    1    on his face said that one of us had done something wrong.

“   2   one of you did this? ”

We all stared down at the step. There was child’s handwriting in chalk there. I was very  3  . I hoped no one could see it. Would he guess it was me? I was so scared. When he asked me, I   4   , “Not me, Dad. ”

The others denied (否认) it as well. Of course, we all knew that one of us   5  have done it. But as the   6  and the smallest of the three, I just couldn’t find the courage to tell the  7   .

To find out who had written on the  8  , father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want each of you to   9  exactly what you see on the step. ”

I tried my best to write the words  10 . I didn’t want Dad to be able to tell it was me.

He gathered up our pieces of paper and looked at them. “ Since  11 of you will

admit(承认) to have done it, then I will punish you all. ” I stood there and said  12 . The last thing I wanted was for Dad to punish me!

“ I  13 it. ” My sister stepped forward and said she had done something she hadn’t. She was punished for a month.

We didn’t talk   14 that day for many years. Not until we were all older and I knew it was safe to finally tell my dad it was really me. I always felt sorry  15  it. That was the last time I let anyone take the blame for me.
