I still remember the day when my mom said,“Let’s get you some new clothes.” You can imagine that to any little girl thatwould mean the world, but to me it meant the universe, because we were not veryrich. After she said that, all I could think about was what kinds of clothes Iwould choose. To my surprise, my mom allowed me to pick out three dresses: a pinkone, a blue one and a yellow one. The yellow one was my favorite.

I had a best friend named Seema, whosefamily was even poorer than ours. We played and studied together, and spent thebest days of our childhood laughing at the silly stories we made up. I wasexcited to show her my three beautiful new dresses. She loved them all and washappy for me, but tearfully explained to me that her father could only affordto buy her clothes for her birthday. I felt sorry, and then did something thatsurprised even myself: I asked her to pick out one of my dresses for herself.To my disappointment, she picked up my favorite—the yellow one. Pleaseremember, I was only seven years. My heart almost popped out (跳出) of my chest. But as she heldit against her body, and I saw how brightly she smiled, I stopped feeling anyhurt. I told her it looked lovely on her.

I’ll always remember Seema’s smile, and howat that moment nothing mattered more. When you value your friendships, nothingelse matters! We’re still best friends today.
