Let go Marina, I’ll play first. I was the onewho helped you bring it down.

No, me first! I saw it first and wanted to clean it. I kept it until...

the guitar cords snapSee what you did! Wouldn’t it havebeen better if you had let me play with itfirst? Now it’s ruined!

It’s your fault, you pulled it hard!

What should we do now?

I have an idea. Instead of fighting about it, let’s go tell Mr. M what happened. We have to apologizeto him and I’m sure he’ll forgive us.

I agree. We need this guitar for our training and it needs to be fixed.

No, I won’t tell Mr. M. I’m sure I can fix it all by myself.

Marina starts to pull the cords, but she can’t fix the guitar. She tries many times but every time it gets worse.

Are you going to do this for long? Do you still think you can fix it by yourself? You made it worse.

I know what I’m doing. I’m not gonna ask Mr. M. I don’t need anyone’s advice. I’m not a little kidanymore.

But this isn’t right Marina! We have to tell Mr. M. He’s an adult and heknows more than us. It’s great that you tried to fix it but it doesn’t seem to be working. It’s not wrong to ask when we don’t know.

Marina, why are you standing likethat? Who brought this guitar down? Itseems that you guys did something wrong.I know what I’m doing.

I’m not gonna ask Mr. M. I don’t need anyone’s advice. I’m not a little kidanymore.

Are you going to do this for long? Do you still think you can fix it by yourself? You made it worse.

I’ll tell you the truth Mr. M.

But why didn’t you ask me to fix it?Marina was afraid to tell you. She thought she could fix it by herself.

Marina, you should’ve asked. It’s not wrong to ask when you don’t know. We always need to take advice from people older than us. Our Bible teaches us that…

It’s always better to consult others
