Here is the sentence:
After bumping the wobbly table, Neil cought
the box of donuts before it hit the floor,
but no one drank juice that morning because
it exploded in a spray of orange on the kitchen tile.
The first verb, cought, is the problem. As you know, the sentence requires the simple past. Caught is the correctly spelled form.
