Avery and I are good friends, but once something unpleasant happened when we both tried for roles in Alice in Wonderland.
Avery really
1 to be Alice and I was sure she could get the role. However, it
2 that I was picked to be Alice and Avery only got the part of the March Hare. “Do you want to practise together with me?” I asked. “Sorry, I’m busy this week,” said Avery
3 looking at me. “And I will be always busy.”
That night at dinner, my parents noticed I was not that
4 about getting the lead role. They wondered what happened. “Well, Avery was not picked to be Alice, but I was. She was unhappy. Maybe she will throw away our
5.”
My father said, “Don’t worry about it. I think this is a
6 for you to be an extra-good friend.”
“Dad is right,” said my mother. “Sometimes
7 our friends do well, we may have feelings of envy and don’t know how to act. Try giving
8 a little time, space and understanding, and she will change her mind soon.”
Over the next week, I tried my best to give Avery some
9. Then one day, on the way to our practice, I
10 her. “I just want to tell you you’re such a great actress when acting as the March Hare,” I smiled and said. She seemed happy and 1
1 how she understood the ro
le. When I asked her to help me with my role, she agreed and smiled, too. She
12 said sorry to me for acting that way at first. Later, we became
13 to each other.
I've learned that people often have a
14 time dealing with envy and disappointment(失望). If you have similar
15, you can try taking my parents' advice. Give your friend a little time, space and understanding. This might be the perfect time to be an extra-good friend.
