Betty is not beautiful . She is too tall and thin. The kids in our class often laugh at(嘲笑) her, so Betty is 1 happy in school.
I like making many friends, 2 I don't like talking with Betty. Just like other girls, I stay away from 3 , enjoying being with my group of friends.
On the last day of the term, Mom says, "Ella, Betty will spend(度过) the 4 with us. "
"5 ? No one likes her. If my friends know it, they may 6 being friends with me. "
"Betty's father left. Her mom has to work. I must help her. She will come tomorrow. Treat her like yourfriend. OK?"
On the 7 day of the holiday, Betty comes over. We do homework, make meals and play chess, …We don't 8 a lot, but I get to know more about Betty. She's kind and she is good 9 making things.
One sunny day, Betty says she wants to make a small treehouse in the old tree in the yard. I am interested in it. So when Betty does it, I 10 her. Finally, we work together to build the treehouse. It's so 11 that we can't move around freely but we feel warm here.
From that day on, Betty and I spend hours in the 12 . We talk more—yes, we 13 . Most of them are true things that happen to us, so we know more about each other.
But one day, a heavy rain comes to the village. Betty and I run 14 to save the treehouse but it is broken. I feel my heart is also broken.
When the sun comes out, I still feel 15 , but Betty goes to help my parents to clean the yard. With tools in her hand, Betty says she wants to make another treehouse and fill(使…充满) it with more stories. Hearing this, I know that our friendship is stronger than the treehouse.
