Soon, the task was turned into a competition of giving 4 instead of notes．Everyone was getting cool presents except me．My friend 5 what the teacher had told us without a fault．I received nothing but hand-made cards with nice words about me．
On the last morning, I finally got a package．When I 6 it, the girls around all 7 ．It was perfumed powder, an "old lady" gift．My face went red．
I tried to forget about the 8 gift, but when the same girls 9 it again during the break in the bathroom, I joined in, "How stupid! My grandmother wouldn’t 10 want it．" The girls laughed at my 11 and filed （排着队走）out of the bathroom．Washing my hands, I let the water run through my fingers _12_ I thought about my words．It wasn’t 13 like me to say things like that．

Later I learned she had felt bad all week about not being able to leave me any cool present and her mum had given up her only luxury（奢侈品）．
And I had 18 everything for her．
I told her that I had only said those things to try to 19 .
"We aren’t that different from each other, are we?" She smiled 20 ．Her simple words, spoken from her heart, found their way straight into mine．
