Question
There were shards of glass scattered all over the floor of the school library. The glass had fallen from the middle window. The librarian Ms. Watson had to walk through the microscopic bits to survey the damage. She had to give a little sigh—this wasn't the first time that this had happened this year. Just a few weeks before, one of the other windows had been broken as well. She didn't know whom to blame.
Outside, Max was nervously looking up at the library window. He didn't know what to do because it had happened again—he had broken a window. A few weeks before, Max had promised himself that it would never happen again. But now it had.
Max liked to hit tennis balls against the wall of the library after school. The exterior of the library was perfect to practice his tennis strokes, so Max practiced there every other day. When he had broken the window the first time, the tennis ball had fallen back down to his side. He had been so nervous that he fled the scene; he had not known what to do. Max had wanted to tell someone, but he didn't have the courage. Now, it was too late. He had broken another window—this wasn't going to be easy. I have to tell someone the truth, thought Max. This has gone on for far too long.
With a resolute stride, Max walked toward the library doors. Once his hand touched the door handle, there was a wave of relief that rushed over him. He knew he was finally going to ease his guilty conscience.
