Lily invited Jane and Julie to a special tea party in her garden.The three friends had decided to dress up as old—fashioned ladies and have a great tea party.Lily took out her old clothes and found some old but beautiful dresses and shoes.She also found a pair of white gloves that would go well with those dresses.Lily got out her best tea set.She was just setting the tea table when the phone rang.It was Jane.
"Hello，Lily.I'm really sorry，but I can't make the tea party.My washing machine has broken down and I have to wait in for the repairman to come."As soon as Lily put the phone down，it rang again.This time，it was Julie."Sorry，Lily，but I can't come today.My cat isn't feeling very well，so we're off to the hospital，"she said.
Lily felt sad."I know it's not their problem that they're not coming，but I was so looking forward to our tea party.I feel a bit silly now in my dress and gloves."Just at that time，the neighbors passed by the garden and were interested in Lily's clothes.Then Lily had a great idea."Why not invite them to the tea party？"Lily told them her plan.and asked whether they would like to join the tea party.The neighbors said yes and they had a great time.
