Li-Ann's Surprise

29 Li-Ann’s Surprise A girl in our class named Li-Ann got sick a while ago. We were all very worried about her. The doctors said she would be fine. The only problem was that the treatment she was going to receive would cause all of her hair to fall out for a while. But it would come back. Li-Ann was very upset about this. But what could she do? The treatment would make her well again, so she really had no choice. Can you imagine how you would feel if you lost all your hair? It would be embarrassing, especially for a pretty girl like Li-Ann. Li-Ann had her treatment, and she got better. Just as the doctors had advised her, all her hair fell out. She was completely bald! After a few weeks, her parents tried to get her to go to school, but she wouldn't. She could not get the courage to return to school with her bald head.

One day, after our teacher told us about how Li-Ann felt about coming to school without her hair, our class talked about it for a while and came up with a great idea. " Let's all cut off our hair, " said one student. “ Yes. Great idea, " said another. “ We'll shave our heads, and then Li-Ann will not feel all alone. " We all shaved our heads bald the next day at school. We felt really good about what we were doing for our friend. Then, our teacher went to Li-Ann's house and convinced her to go to school the next day. She agreed because it would be a Saturday, and there would be no one there. The next morning, Li-Ann went to school wearing a hat. She walked down the empty hall to her classroom, where she thought she was meeting only the teacher. Li-Ann opened the door and-“ SURPRISE! " The whole class was there. She started to cry because she was so happy. Everyone looked just like her now. We were all bald. She could hardly believe what her friends had done.
