One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a (n) ________ thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that.”

And I had an experience recently with someone ________ to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the ________ of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me ________ I remembered the egg boxes. Then he ________ an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing.

I was about eight years old ________, and I had wandered into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that ________ day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department ________ the incident took place. There must have been a special ________ on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen boxes. The boxes were ________ three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of them to ________ the boxes. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart, ________ the boxes and left. For some reason, I ________ that it was up to me to put the display back together even though it was not my ________, so I began to work.

The manager heard the ________ and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my ________ checking some of the boxes to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as if I was the wrongdoer. He severely ________ me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs to ________ the loss. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did ________ good.
