The next day would be picture day.Poppy smiled at herself in the mirror.She was trying on her new dress.It looked perfect.Her picture would be in the yearbook forever.
In the kitchen, Poppy spilled(洒) some juice down the front of her dress."I'll wash it, "her mom said. "Now get changeD. We're going to the eye doctor."
At the doctor's office, Poppy worried about her dress.Suddenly, she heard the doctor say, "Your glasses are ready."Poppy didn't want glasses.She hoped she wouldn't have to wear them for picture day.
The next morning, Poppy put on her new dress, but it was tight and short."Oh, no!"she crieD. "My dress shrank in the wash!"She ran to get an older dress.
Waiting with her classmates, Poppy fussed with (摆弄) her glasses.Beside her, Raul said, "You're lucky your parents didn't make you get a haircut.""And you can still smile!"Lei said. She had a few missing teeth.Rosa had a bandage(创可贴) across her nose.Evan's arm was in a cast(石膏固定)."I guess we all have something we don't like about our looks.No one is perfect, "Poppy said.
"You're up, second graders, "the photographer called. Poppy thought about taking off her glasses.Then the photographer smiled at her and said, "Nice glasses!"Poppy smiled back and looked at her classmate.They couldn't take off a bad haircut or hide a broken arm.They all had their difference.That's what made them unusual.Poppy left her glasses on.
"Cheese!"the class called out.
"Perfect!"the photographer said.
Picture day didn't go the way Poppy had planned. It was even better.
