When I was nine years old, my younger sister and I used to steal our neighbor’s coconut shell and sell it to them. Then we went to the store to buy assorted candies and stick bread. After that, we went back to steal coconut shell again until such time the owner caught us and then we ran as fast as we could. And when we got home, our mother was surprised on what was happened and she asked us what’s going on.
We told to our mother the truth that our neighbor was hunting us because they caught us stealing their coconut shell and then we sold it to them. Our mother got angry with us because of what we have done to our neighbor. She scolded and punished us. She told us not to do it again
After what we have done to our neighbor, we were ashamed when our mother asked us to buy something in their store. We cannot also play in their backyard because most of our friends lived there. It took so long, maybe almost a year, before we have recovered from that bad experience.
After years go by, we met again our neighbor in their family gathering because one of our relatives was their close friends. They also invited us to attend their family gathering. Our relative introduced us to our neighbor saying that we were the daughters of her aunt. Our neighbor got shocked because they cannot believe we’re already teenagers and they said that the time was so fast.
