Avery and I are good friends, but once something unpleasant happened when we both tried for roles in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
Avery really hoped to be Alice. However, I was 1 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, without looking at me. “And I will 2 be busy.”
That night at dinner, my parents noticed I was not that excited about 3 the lead role. I told them what happened. “Maybe she will 4 our friendship.”
My father said, “Don’t worry. I think this is a chance for you to be very good friends.”
“Dad’s 5,” said my mother. “Sometimes when our friends do well, we may have feelings of envy(忌妒). Try giving her a little time, space and understanding, and she will change her 6 soon.”
A week later, on the way to our practice, I met her. “I just want to say you’re such a great 7 when acting as the March Hare,” I smiled. She seemed happy and explained how she understood the 8. She even said sorry to me for acting that way at first. Later, we became closer to each other.
