One Monday morning, the class were excited about the rumor（流言）that the science room was on fire over the weekend．Mr. Johnson, my fifth grade teacher 36 it and explained that science class would be cancelled 37 the fire. He also 38 us not to go near the room because it could be dangerous．
During the morning break, Kim and I 39 to check out the damage．A first hand observation would make us heroes at lunch．We safely 40 the science room．We stood on tiptoes（脚尖）looking hard through the door window, trying to see what was like inside 41 suddenly a firm hold on our shoulders stopped us．
"Where do you belong? Certainly not here!"
I turned around to find a teacher staring 42 at us, shouting．In those frozen seconds millions of 43 flashed through my mind．My father would kill me for disobeying teachers．Worse than that, my mother might be so mad that she might not 44 him．My heart 45 even lower when I thought of how angry Mr．Johnson would be．Soon the teacher led Kim and me back to the classroom, leaving us 46 before Mr．Johnson．
But to our 47 , there was no yelling and no anger from Mr．Johnson． 48 , he bent slowly to look me in the eye．I was met with a look of 49 rather than anger．He spoke softly and carefully as he explained why he was 50 in my decision to go where I might have got 51 ．As I looked into the eyes of the man who could send me to unimagined 52 at home, tears welled up in my eyes．The thought of disappointing Mr．Johnson 53 me while I felt a gentle touch of Mr．Johnson's hand on my shoulder．I glanced up and he smiled．My 54 for Mr．Johnson grew greatly the moment I discovered that he still liked me even after I'd disappointed him．I could see that he cared more about my 55 than the fact that I'd broken a rule．It was the first time I felt the power of forgiveness．
