The Broken Vase
Morris woke up from his nap and went to get his keys for his truck. When they weren't in the key drawer he went outside to see if he had left them in his truck. His truck was gone. He glanced around and saw George's car.
"If George's car is here then he must be the one who took my truck. If he can take my truck then I will take his car," though Morris.
He climbed in the 1969 Ford Mustang and took it for a joy ride. He experimented to see how well he could maneuver the car around the corners up the canyon road.
He hurried back to the house knowing that if George got home before him there would be trouble. As he pulled up to the house he noticed that George had already returned home with the truck. Morris glanced down long enough to unbuckle his seat belt when the door to the Mustang flew open. George grabbed ahold of Morris by the shirt and jerked him out of the car and onto the ground. He jumped on top of Morris and threw his hands around his neck. He yelled at Morris telling him he had no right to take his car. Morris coutnered with his truck and broke away running into the house. George was in hot persuit. The wind and vibrations by both of the boys running into the house caused their mother's antique vase to crash to the floor into many pieces.
They both immediately ceased fighting and began trying to piece together the boken vase. After 30 minutes they gave up their efforts and decided to hide the vase. They hid the vase in the storage closet on the floor hoping that their mother would think that she had placed the vase on the shelf and it had then fallen to the floor.
Their mother found the pieces a couple days after the crashing event and inquired of the boys what had happened. They both plead innocent and acted as though they knew nothing.
Jackie knew they had broken the vase and was very disappointed in them for lying to her. She could always get a new vase, but she didn't want to lose her trust in the boys because of them lying to her.
