小女孩Cindy在校没有朋友,一次偶然的机会,“我”保护了她,她向“我”询问她交不到朋友的原因,“我”该如实相告吗?Cindy的生活会有变化吗?

1 Last year there was a girl at our school who hardly talked to anyone. I think it was because she seldom showered, and she smelled kind of bad. Her name was Cindy Lindburg. I didnt know exactly where she lived, but it must have been somewhere in the neighborhood because we always got on the school bus at the same bus stop.

2 Cindy Lindburg didnt have many friends. She always came to the lunch room alone and left alone. On the bus, no one offered her a seat, and she never asked if she could share a seat with others. I thought that maybe it was because she was sort of a shy person. She seemed like a nice girl, who had an odor (气味) problem.

3 One day, I was walking up to the bus stop and I saw Carl Littleton making fun of her. I couldnt hear what he was saying, but I saw him laughing and rolling his eyes in his typical poking⁃fun⁃at⁃you way. I also saw how sad it made Cindy. Holding her notebook tightly to her chest like a shield, she stared at the ground and moved as far away from him as possible without leaving the bus stop entirely. As soon as I got close enough, I glared at Carl to make him stop laughing—even though I knew he probably wouldnt. He didnt, so I walked over and stood closer to Cindy so she wouldnt feel quite so bad. It was just one of those times when you just knew someone needed someone to be a friend.

4 I didnt think shed say anything, but she did. Her eyes peeked (偷看) up from staring at the ground and as though she thought Id be embarrassed if anyone heard her speaking to me, she whispered “Hi”.

5 “Hi,” I said. Then as loudly as I could, I said, “Dont pay any attention to Carl. His parents have been unsuccessful in teaching him some manners.”

6 Some of the kids standing there laughed. The comment didnt even rouse (唤醒) a smile out of Cindy. By now everyone there was talking with a friend. Quietly, and with a serious look on her face, Cindy said, “Why dont I have any friends?”
