球 A Ball

52. A Ball One day, Mr. Li was reading a book in his office after school.

To his surprise, a ball flew in suddenly and hit him on the head. He took the ball to the window, but he only saw a group of boy students running away quickly and disappearing in a minute.

He sat down again and continued his reading. As it got dark, it was time for him to leave for home. Looking at the ball, he wondered what to do with it. He knew the owner of the ball must be nearby and wishing to get it back.

He went downstairs and walked to the playground. It was at the center of the playground that he placed the ball and a piece of paper, on which was written " Be careful next time."

Then he walked away. The next morning, as Mr. Li opened the office door, he found the same piece of paper on the floor.

Under his words was added the following, " Thank you for your kindness. Anyway, you are a clever fellow."
