That is a nice story, and if true you got lucky that it was a small company and your boss probably knew your actual competency level.
In most places when stuff like this happens, your bosses' bosses' boss will want blood, and a nice firing will happen no matter what.
Protip: if anyone ever find themselves on the short end of this stick, don't grovel to keep your job. If possible, don't even discuss what happened. Remind them of your strengths, experience, what you can continue to contribute, and why they hired you in the first place. It won't make any difference if they already have their minds made up they want blood, but you will feel better about it.
