Peace offering

We had a small emergency at home two weekends ago when an exposed portion of water pipe broke. My husband shut off the main valve and called me because I was still at work, and I managed to get hold of our plumbers who came home with me and they replaced the damaged section. Later that evening, our Korean neighbors called on us with a Mango Cream Cake from Red Ribbon. Turns out that the young children staying with them for several months were so intrigued by the coconuts on our tree (the adults said they don't have coconut trees in Korea), they started throwing stones to try to get one of the coconuts to fall. Of course, they missed and hit the pipe instead. The kids were too scared to tell me or my husband and waited for the adults to get home so they could talk to us. They also offered to pay for the repair. That was very nice of them and of the children. The kids could easily have said nothing and no one would have known. But they knew they were responsible and felt bad about what happened, and even though they were scared, they still admitted their mistake. I'm so proud of them.
