Embarassing moment

Our school, Victoria School is quite well-known in the neighbourhood. Many eminent people had graduated from Victoria School. Some are ministers, businessmen, or presidents. There is a strong parent-support group which organises activities to help the school. However, the person that contributed the most to our school is Mr. Ho Yu Dhar, the famous gynaecologist. His generosity toward our school is
Yesterday, a dinner was held to honour Mr. Ho for his generous help in the past. Teachers and student representatives attended it to show respect and honour to Mr. Ho.
Usually people who get rich and famous are humble. Their generosity is indicative of other good qualities. Mr. Ho, however, was an exception. He was rich and loves publicity. Therefore, he looked very delighted when his arrival to the restaurant was greeted with much applause.
As we proceed with the night’s programmes, Mr. Lee, our current principal, went on stage. He invited Mr Ho to the stage to make a speech. Unfortunately, as Mr.Ho got up from his chair, an embarrassing accident took place. A trainee waiter was had been hovering nearby. Seeing Mr. Ho’s half empty glass and his body movement, he thought that Mr. Ho wanted a refill. When the waiter was moving towards Mr. Ho with the wine bottle, Mr. Ho was getting up from his chair. His shoulder hit the incoming wine bottle. As a result red wine was spilled all over Mr. Ho.
For a moment, everyone at the table was stunned, and then some of them moved to help the shocked and embarrassed guest. It was now that Mr. Ho’s face shows his indignation. His face was flushed red with irritation and embarrassment. Mr. Lee was offering apologies to Mr. Ho while helping him wipe off the red stains on his once clear white shirt.
Directing a baleful stare at the unfortunate waiter, Mr. Ho walked to the stage as dignified as he could. His courage was warmly applauded by the teachers and students. He gave an impromptu speech because his original notes for the speech were soggy and limp with the spilled wine.
The next day, the Straits Times published about Mr. Ho’s courage. He was also praised for his dignity in carrying his speech despite the accident. The unfortunate waiter was then forgiven as everyone recognized that it wasn’t his fault and his remorse was punishment enough.
