This happened in a third-grade classroom. Jim sat at his desk and all of a sudden, there was a puddle(一滩水) his feet and the front of his trousers was wet. He felt his heart was going to stop. He knew would happen when his classmates found out. He looked up and there came the teacher with a look in her eyes that said he (discover).
As the teacher was walking towards , a classmate named Susie was carrying goldfish bowl full of water to her desk. Suddenly, Susie tripped(绊倒) and, (strange), dumped the whole bowl of water in Jim's lap. He pretended to be angry, but all the while he was saying deep in his heart, “Thank you!”
Jim became the object of sympathy instead of ridicule(嘲笑). The teacher brought him gym shorts to put on. All the others crawled(爬) on their hands and knees, (clean) up around his desk. But life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been transferred(转移) to Susie. She tried to help, they told her to leave the room. school was over, Jim walked over to Susie and whispered, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
