Daddy brought me to see the manager of the bookstore. Daddy said, "We need to buy this book now because you have torn it." Daddy explained to the manager what has happened, and requested to give some discount since the front page of the book was originally torn. Initially the manager only offered 10% discount. After much persuasion, he gave us a 20% discount.
I was very happy to have that book but Daddy reminded me it was my mistake although I did not do it on purpose. Therefore, I was punished to abstain from bookstore for the next 10 days. Sigh.... poor me. If I am to read the book, I have to abstain from all children rides for 30 times. "That's how much it cost," Daddy said.
On 1st Jan 2012, Mummy brought me to the mall. We went into a bookstore when out of the sudden I told Mummy, "Eh, I am not allowed to come to the bookstore lar, Mummy." Oops! Mummy has forgotten. With a big broad smile, Mummy took me out. As a reward for my honesty, Daddy cancelled 8 times children rides from the list.
Finally, my punishment is over. Hurray! I am so happy that I can go to bookstore now. And I also get to read that book which I have torn because I did not play any children rides for 30 times. Daddy and Mummy are so proud of me. Although the book is quite costly, Daddy and Mummy feel that this is the right thing to do and an opportunity to teach me to be responsible.
