John was a good student but he didn’t respect others. One day, his mother gave him a drum as a birthday gift. He often went around the classroom playing his drum. When others asked him to keep quiet or play somewhere else, John refused.

John’s classmates couldn’t bear the noisy drum, so they stopped playing with him. Peter, one of his classmates, invented special earplugs which allowed people to hear normal sounds, but stopped the bad ones. John got very angry with Peter. He even had a big fight with Peter.

A few days later, a clock was put into the classroom, just next to the desk of John. The clock was making the noise like “Tick tock, tick tock.” John couldn’t concentrate on(专注于……) his study at all. However, the others, with their special earplugs, were OK. Soon John started to realize how much he had disturbed(打扰) his classmates with the drum, and how silly it had been to fight with Peter. In order to change the situation, John decided to say sorry to his classmates. What’s more, he no longer played his drum in the classroom. Seeing John’s great changes, his classmates finally forgave(原谅) him and decided to play with him again.

From then on, John changed a lot and got along well with his classmates.
