Sam and his friend Bob, both 5, entered a painting competition. Bob won! Sam felt blue and left1.
As soon as Sam2home, he told papa, "I worked hard on my picture. I made it the best I could. I wanted to win. "
"You did work hard," said papa. "3is a fine picture. I'll hang it in my office. "Mama gave Sam a hug and said, "I hope you congratulated Bob."
Sam shook his head, "Bob was too busy getting his photo taken." Then he went to his room. He sulked(生闷气). He didn't feel like doing anything. Some time later, he got very4. He wondered what Bob was doing. He remembered the fun they had, painting their pictures together.
He decided to do something,5he took out some paper and his painting set. He painted another picture, one6a ship in it. He knew Bob loved ships.
Under the ship, he printed in big red7: C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S! That was the biggest word he knew.
That afternoon, Sam walked to Bob's house and gave Bob the8.
"Thanks," said Bob. "I love ships. What's the9word?"
"Congratulations, "said Sam.
"Wow! Thanks again," said Bob. "This is much better than getting my photo taken."
