One day my uncle told me about his childhood. When he was ten years old, he liked to climb a mango tree. He usually climbed the tree with some friends. Then they picked some mangoes without permission. Yap, they liked to steal mangoes. They frequently ate mangoes on the tree. They had prepared a fruit peeler and a plastic bag for the garbage. What a good preparation! They didn't want to throw the garbage everywhere. They kept the environment clean. That's a good point. But stealing fruits is a bad point. My uncle said it was so fun. Sometimes they were caught by the owners. They had ever met both kind and unkind owners. A kind owner was never angry to them. She/he let them pick some mangoes. "Don't eat too many mangoes or you will get a stomachache" a kind owner advised one day. Meanwhile an unkind owner punished them to clean a pool and back yard. There was one owner who was really angry to them. Then he came to the kids' parents and asked for much money for the mangoes they had eaten. Their parents couldn't afford it. The owner gave them some weeks to pay or he would call the police. Then he and his friends tried to earn money to help their parents. After school he worked at a car wash. My uncle learnt that earning money was not easy. But it wasn't impossible. After three weeks, he could gave the money to the mango-tree owner. Magically, the owner turned into a nice guy and asked my uncle to keep the money. He gave the money to his parents. Finally he never stole the mangoes anymore but still liked to climb a mango tree
