Betty and I are best friends.Our birthdays are on the same day,so every year we have a birthday party together.But this year we had a costume party instead.
While we were writing the invitations,my mom came in and asked,“Nancy,what about inviting John?”John had been in our class for only a few months,but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in our class.“Mom,he wears the same pants to school every day.How could he even afford a costume?”Mom said nothing.
The next day,mom gave me an envelope(信封) with a shopping card in it.“I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John.”Mom said.But how?We didn’t want to make John embarrassed.We discussed it for a long time.Finally,Betty and I had a good idea.
On the day of our party,John arrived,in an old sheet(床单),but still in the same brown pants as usual.Before eating the birthday cake,Betty said in a loud voice,“Now it’s time for the great prize game.”It was a math game.None of us were surprised when John gave the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.
Everything went well as we planned.John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week.He felt happy.So did we.
