One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes． (79) It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that," and it is even harder to say, "I was wrong~ and you were right about that．"
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago． He told me he had been the manager of a grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons． Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing．
I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping． On that particular clue, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place．
(80) There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons． The cartons were stacked three or four feet high． I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks． Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons． For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together; so I went to work．
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened． When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit (罪犯)． He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs． I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good． Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not．
