One day, my mother said, “Let’s buy you some new clothes.” I was very happy and surprised because my family didn’t have much money at that time. I bought three dresses, a pink one, a blue one and, best of all, a yellow and blue one. I loved that yellow and blue dress.
I showed my three new beautiful dresses to my best friend Emily. She loved them all and was happy for me. But she also felt sad and said her father could only buy her new clothes for her birthday. So I asked her to pick one. Then she picked the best one—the yellow and blue dress! You should know that I was only 7 years old and it was my turn to feel sad.
