Mr. Alex Geller was in the Reuben and Edith Hecht Museum in Israel when he heard a crash. “Please let that not be my child,” he thought. His son, Ariel, is curious. The four-year-old wanted to see what was inside a jar. Ariel accidentally broke the 3,500-year-old piece. Mr. Geller told guards. He offered to pay for damage. The museum forgave Ariel. Staff members invited him to return. They even let him help fix another broken jar! Experts used a special glue to put the pieces of the first jar together. The jar went back on display at the museum less than two weeks later. A new sign beside it asks people not to touch it.
