Laura had signed up for an evening art class to relax after work. One session, while painting, she accidentally knocked over a jar of paint onto another student’s artwork. Mortified, she apologized repeatedly. The student, named Sam, surprisingly laughed and said, “Well, now it’s modern art!” They ended up working together to fix the piece. What could have been a disaster turned into the beginning of a new friendship.
