全文 The whole story, with pinyin and English
星期天下午，奶奶出门买菜，我一个人在客厅里拍球。
xīng qī tiān xià wǔ nǎi nai chū mén mǎi cài wǒ yí gè rén zài kè tīng lǐ pāi qiú
On Sunday afternoon, Grandma went out to buy groceries, and I was bouncing a ball in the living room on my own.
奶奶出门前叮嘱过我：“不要在屋里玩球。”可是我没有听。
nǎi nai chū mén qián dīng zhǔ guo wǒ bú yào zài wū lǐ wán qiú kě shì wǒ méi yǒu tīng
Before she left, Grandma had told me, “Don't play ball in the house.” But I didn't listen.
突然，球弹到了柜子上，“砰”的一声，奶奶心爱的花瓶摔得粉碎。
tū rán qiú tán dào le guì zi shàng pēng de yì shēng nǎi nai xīn ài de huā píng shuāi de fěn suì
Suddenly the ball bounced onto the cabinet. Crash! Grandma's beloved vase fell and smashed to pieces.
我吓得不知所措，心怦怦直跳。
wǒ xià de bù zhī suǒ cuò xīn pēng pēng zhí tiào
I was so scared I didn't know what to do, and my heart was pounding.
我想把碎片藏起来，然后说是小猫打破的。
wǒ xiǎng bǎ suì piàn cáng qǐ lái rán hòu shuō shì xiǎo māo dǎ pò de
I thought about hiding the pieces and then saying the kitten had broken it.
可是看着小猫无辜的眼睛，我觉得这样做太不诚实了。
kě shì kàn zhe xiǎo māo wú gū de yǎn jing wǒ jué de zhè yàng zuò tài bù chéng shí le
But looking at the kitten's innocent eyes, I felt that doing that would be far too dishonest.
奶奶回来以后，我低着头，把事情的经过老老实实地告诉了她。
nǎi nai huí lái yǐ hòu wǒ dī zhe tóu bǎ shì qing de jīng guò lǎo lǎo shí shí de gào su le tā
When Grandma came back, I hung my head and told her exactly what had happened, honestly.
奶奶不但没有骂我，还摸摸我的头说：“知错能改，就是好孩子。”
nǎi nai bú dàn méi yǒu mà wǒ hái mō mo wǒ de tóu shuō zhī cuò néng gǎi jiù shì hǎo hái zi
Grandma didn't scold me at all. She stroked my head and said, “If you know you were wrong and put it right, you're a good child.”
