Ken and his family had moved to town three weeks ago. He and his older brother, Pete, spent most of that time helping their parents unpack. Ken didn't know many of the other kids in the neighborhood, and he worried that he wouldn't know anyone when school started.
3 Ken's mom tried to make him feel better. She told him that he just needed to get out and meet the other kids in town.
4 One morning a few weeks later, Ken met Mal, a boy his age who lived down the street. Mal was nice, and he asked Ken to play catch in the park. Ken didn't have a baseball glove, but he really wanted to make a new friend. He asked Pete if he could borrow his glove.
5 "Okay," Pete said. "Just don't forget to bring it back."
6 Ken promised that he would be careful with the glove, and he rushed to meet Mal in the park. Ken and Mal played catch for a while. After that, Mal took Ken to the school so he would know where to go when classes started. The playground was open, so they spent some time on the swings. Later they stopped by the library. Mal said the library had many great books, and he even helped Ken sign up for a library card that morning.
7 Ken invited Mal back to his house for lunch. When they got close to the house, Ken saw Pete mowing the lawn. That's when Ken realized that he didn't have Pete's glove with him. Ken didn't want to tell his brother that he'd lost the glove.
8 Mal asked Ken what was wrong, and Ken told him. Mal said not to worry. They would go looking for the missing glove. They returned to the park, but they couldn't find the glove. They searched the school playground, but it wasn't there, either. They even went back to the library, but no one had found a baseball glove.
9 When they returned to Ken's house, Mal told Ken to tell Pete the truth. He said that Pete would understand and that everyone makes mistakes.
10 Ken knew that Mal was right. He found Pete in the backyard and told him what had happened. Pete just smiled and told him that a neighbor had found the glove. Pete's name was on the inside of the glove, and the neighbor had dropped it off at the house.
11 "Thanks for telling me the truth," Pete said. "Just remember to bring the glove home with you next time."
12 Ken said he would, and he rushed back to tell Mal the good news.
Based on this story, what is Pete most likely to do in the future?
