My friend Rohan and I stood in the hot sun, looking at the high wall around Old Mr Kumar's guava（番石榴）garden on our way home.
“Who picks the most guavas will be the 1,” Rohan said with a naughty smile. It sounded crazy, but at nine years old, I didn't think much.
We climbed over the wall. The sweet smell of guavas filled the air. 2 as I was, I put as many guavas into my pockets as I could.
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly from far away, “Thieves（小偷）!”
We saw Mr Kumar running towards us fast. We rushed back and climbed the wall in 3. As I jumped down to the ground, most guavas dropped from my pockets.
All but one. It fell into the grass. I picked it up and ran home.
As soon as I rushed into my bedroom, I hid the guava in the drawer（抽屉）. It 4 something I should not have. I felt awful and for the next week, I chose another way home.
One day, I ran into Mr Kumar at the market. He was putting fresh guavas on his table. I felt so nervous that I wanted to hide, but 5 I could, he saw me.
“I know you,” he said in a soft voice.
I lowered my head, with my face burning hot.
“If you wanted guavas, you could just come and ask me,” he began to 6 patiently. “Climbing the wall is dangerous, and your thoughtless act may let your parents 7.”
He picked a big guava and handed it to me. I refused it and said sorry quietly. He didn't 8 my mistake again, just smiled and kept working.
I went home with a heavy heart. The guava in my drawer turned dry day after day, yet I kept it. It didn't remind me of winning, but of Mr Kumar's kindness and my 9. Years later, I still 10 remember the lesson this small fruit taught me.
This guava became my special souvenir（纪念品）.
