Last Sunday was Mother's Day. I've decided to buy a present for my mother, so i went to the gift shop by myself. I saw many customers pueing up at the counter to pay for their gifts. They were many display shelves in the shop. I wakled around the shop as I didn't know what to buy for my mother.
Suddenly i remembered that my mother loves crystal very much, so i walked to the shelf that displays different shapes of crystals. I picked up a crystal ball, looking at it and disagreed with a grin as it was too ordinary. So i put it back and looked for a nicer one, a heart-shaped crystal caught my attention. I held it at eye-level and it was as if i was peering the world through the crystal. I was engrossed looking at the crystal.
Out of the blue, some one patted my shoulder, I was startled and turned round, it was the other customer that was looking for gifts and he had accidentally kncoked my shoulder. The crystal slipped from my hand when u turned back. A loud crash was heard and it broke into smihthereen. I blamed the customer for knocking my shoulder when i was looking at the crystal. At the same time, i also blamed myself for having butter fingers. I was nervous as i was in a bad predicament. Beads of sweat trickled down my face. The stern-looking manager came and scolded me. He also asked my to clean up the mess. I explained to the manager courteously.
While i was explaining, the owner of the shop came out from the office and asked the manager what had happened. The owner pitied me so i only had to pay half the price of the crystal. I was very sad as i didn't get anything for my mother. At last, i decided to bake a cheese cake for my mother during the actual day. I didn't tell my mother about the bad experience. Next time i'm going to be more careful when handling fragile things.
