what is the positive ending to this situation?
my friend and i both love playing video games. his parents got him a new hand-held gaming system for his birthday, and he loves it. he told me i could borrow it whenever i wanted, so i asked if i could try it out this weekend. weve known each other a long time, so he trusts me. i was taking good care of it, but my dog jumped on me and knocked it out of my hands. the screen is cracked, but it otherwise still works.
so then i...
told him that my brother stole it and cracked it.
admitted what happened and offered to pay for the repair.
told him it was like that when he gave it to me.

Explanation:

A positive ending requires honesty and taking responsibility for the accident, which preserves trust in the friendship. The other options involve lying, which would damage the long-term trust between the friends.

Answer:

admitted what happened and offered to pay for the repair.
