A Turning-point Party
The cold snow was falling as Kelly struggled home from school in December. How much she hated the
snow---and everything else about Pinetree, Wyoming, America. How much she missed Thailand! “I hate it here! I
want to go home!” Kelly thought.
She reached for a small white envelope in her pocket. In it was an invitation to Jennifer’s party: Kelly didn’t
want to go. She felt awkward at the thought of being at a party with a bunch of kids she barely knew. She closed her
eyes and remembered this time of year people would hold a festival to thank the Mother of Water in Thailand, They
used banana leaves to make a little boat with a candle lit in it, made a wish for the coming year and set the boat
floating on the river.
Kelly sighed and pushed open the door to her parents’ restaurant. They were busy working. “Maybe I should
go just this once for Mama and Papa. They are so worried that I’m not making any friends.” Kelly went over and
tied an apron around her waist. As she was washing dishes, she told her mother that she had been invited to a partyon Friday night. Mama smiled saying now she might be happy in their new home. Kelly nodded, thinking Pinetree
could never be her home.
On Friday evening, Papa drove Kelly to the party. Jennifer met her at the door and led her into the dining
room. Six kids from her classes were seated around the table, on which were sitting small brown cookie houses.
They were selecting colorful candies and gluing them to their own houses, Wow, she loved making things. For this
part of the party, she could be herself. She decided to decorate her cottage like one of the golden temples of
Thailand. As she was making it, Jennifer wondered how she did it. The others joined staring at Kelly with
admiration, Kelly felt a warm glow. Maybe I could fit in here-----a little, she thought.
After dinner, the party went on and the talk turned to the coming holidays.

【参考答案】
After dinner, the party went on and the talk turned to the coming holidays. All the children present
immediately burst into cheers. They talked about their familiar American festivals one after another. Finally, it was
Kelly’s turn. With her face flaming with shyness and her head lowered, Kelly gradually began to introduce her
favorite Thailand festivals intended for thanking the Mother of Water. Everyone listened carefully with burning
curiosity. Slowly, a surge of confidence rose inside Kelly and she raised up her voice, pouring out words.
Suddenly, Kelly came up with an idea. She ran to the garden, returning with several leaves. Clearing her
throat, she announced, “Let’s make a boat and celebrate the festival!” Everyone took the leaves to make them into
little boats decorated with one colorful candle each, and then put them into the bathtub. Kelly turned off the light,
little boats flowing on the water, like dots of star blinking in the darkness. All the children including Kelly, put their
palms together, closed their eyes and made a wish. Right at that moment, a thought occurred to Kelly that she could
fit in the new home as long as she made an attempt.
