(Calmer now) Don't worry. Thanks for telling me the truth. I will gather up the pieces.
You mean you forgive me?

Wow! You are a true friend.

(Manish walks to the yard.)
The poor tree. I hope it's not hurt, because you sure did hit it hard.
Accidents happen to everybody.
(Hesitating) Ummm, uh..that's exactly what I came to talk to you about.
Did you have a bicycle wreck too?
(Timidly) No, not a wreck, just an accident. Do you remember the Spider-man comic book you loaned me yesterday? Well, there's really no good way of saying this but....
(Interrupting) You did not ruin it or lose it, did you?
Well, not exactly.
(Manish enters from the side and watches quietly)
Good, because I love that comic book.
It is not my fault! My little sister and the dog did it. My sister spilled water on it and then when she put it out to dry, my dog chewed up the wet book.
