When It Happened

When It Happened Today, Emma was very unhappy. Mom noticed it right away when Emma got off the school bus. What happened?Her best friend Jamie stopped talking to her. Worse than that, he said that they were no longer friends. That really hurt.

想换学校 今天，艾玛很不高兴。当艾玛下了校车的时候，妈妈很快注意到了。 公共汽车发生了什么事?她最好的朋友杰米不再和她说话了。更糟糕的是，他说他们不再是朋友了。 这造成很大的伤害。

Emma told her mom that she would like to change schools. Mom was surprised. But she said, " Leaving may not be the best solution. You know, something like this could happen in another school too. Would you keep changing schools every time something like this happened?" Mom suggested that Emma talk to Jamie and find out what happened. The next day, when Emma arrived home from school, she told her mom that Jamie had been upset the day before. Why?Because when he had licked the paper, his tongue got cut. That's why he was so mean to everyone—especially his best friend. The smile came back to Emma's face.

艾玛告诉她妈妈她想转学。 妈妈很惊讶。但她说，“离开可能不是最好的解决办法。这种事也可能在别的学校发生。每次发生这样的事，你会一直换学校吗?” 妈妈建议艾玛和杰米谈谈，看看发生了什么。 第二天，当艾玛从学校回到家时，她告诉妈妈杰米前一天很不开心。为什么?因为当他舔纸的时候，他的舌头被割破了。 这就是为什么他对每个人都那么刻薄——尤其是他最好的朋友。 爱玛的脸上又恢复了笑容。
