Now it＇s your turn to see the teacher．″ I regretted playing the joke, but I had to enjoy a good scold from the teacher． Once catching sight of the teacher I bowed and waited． A few minutes passed, I found the teacher looking at me in surprise． I thought he was too angry to say a word, so I broke the ice by saying ″I＇m sorry．″ ″For what?″ What?
