Amy did not have any friends and felt sad. All the girls in her class were 1 with a best friend or in groups, and she always felt left out. So, Amy just walked around2instead of playing with anyone. She wanted to seesaw(跷跷板), 3 that is something you need to do with a friend. Also, she liked to swing(荡秋千)and 4 someone would push her to get her started.
One day, the teacher, Mrs Gibbs. walked up and put 5__arm around Amy, "What's the matter, Amy? Why don't you 6with other children?" She asked kindly.
Amy replied, "Everyone has a 7 except me. I don't have anyone. "Mrs Gibbs smiled and said, "Amy, the 8 to get a friend is to be a friend." Amy asked, "How do I do that?"
Mrs Gibbs answered, "9 around the playground. There are three classes of third-graders out here during this break time. 10 someone who is alone and then go to ask them to play." Amy said she would think about it, but she was 11 she would be refused. She wasn't sure she could do it.
The next day, Amy noticed a dark-haired girl all alone on the playground. She worked up her 12and walked to the girl. "Hi! My name is Amy. Do you want to play with me?"
"Okay, "the girl said shyly. As they took turns pushing each other on the 13, Amy found out that the girl's name was Ming. Her family had just moved from Japan and she also 14 a friend.
"Want to seesaw?" Amy asked. Ming smiled and nodded. Paired up with each other, they played so 15.
Amy finally had a friend!
