Ann was my best friend. She had come to play half an hour ago, and I didn’t want her to go. “Your mother said you could stay an hour.” I said.
Ann pointed at the Teddy Bear on my desk. “I’ll stay if you give me your Teddy Bear.” she said.
I couldn’t imagine giving it to her. It was a special gift from Aunt Reba on my tenth birthday. My aunt was a beautiful and kind woman who was never too busy to spend time with me. The day she died, I cried for hours, unable to believe that I would never see her again. Now, when I saw the Teddy Bear, I was filled with memories(回忆) of Aunt Reba.
“Come on,” Ann shouted, “I’m your best friend.”
I don’t know what came over me, but I really wanted someone to play with me. So I handed Ann the Teddy Bear! Then, she stayed.
That evening I went to bed without dinner. The memories of Aunt Reba brought tears to my eyes. How ashamed I felt. I was sad all night.
Alone in the dark, I asked myself, “Is Ann really my best friend?”
At school the next day, I found Ann. I asked for the Teddy Bear. She was surprised at first. Then she thought for a few seconds and finally said, “Okay, I don’t like it anyway.”
After that, Ann and I stopped playing together. Through the years, I have had other best friends. I have come to understand that best friends are people who want to spend time with you, and they ask nothing in return.
