Explanation: The words provided for James's story include 'stabbed finger penknife accident'.

Explanation: The words 'horrified' and 'hospital' indicate a reaction and a consequence of the incident in James's story. 'Penknife' was an item involved, not a consequence or reaction, and 'teenagers' describes the age of those involved, not an outcome or feeling after the event.
