Before graduating from junior school, all of the ninth graders had to study hard all the time in order to enter a good senior high school. I went to school library with a few friends every day and we always stuck together. Therefore, we gradually developed firm friend ship between us. However, I made a mistake when speaking with one of them, Linda, which resulted in an unpleasant experience between us.
On an ordinary day, I went to library with my friends and began to study. Suddenly, I saw a pretty girl sitting far from me and I told my friends excitedly. Linda wondered and asked me where the pretty girl was. Instead of telling her, yet I said, “Not you at all.” When I said those words, I thought that I was just kidding. However, she has never talked with me since then. In the beginning, I didn’t know why she didn’t want to talk with me, and I considered that maybe she was under the weather. Not until I ask another friend, and he told me the reason did I realized. I felt guilty and apologized to her to request her forgiveness. She has not forgiven me until graduating, and on my birthday she sent a message to me to wish me a happy birthday! I was glad and moved.
After that I learn a lesson. What you say may hurt someone when you think you are just kidding. Franklin said ”The mouth of a wise man is in his mind.”
