“Fine, I'll just do it all myself!” I thought as I stomped(迈着重重的步子走) away. My friends and I were trying to make the best cardboard town to play in. We had boxes that we were turning into stores and playgrounds and all kinds of other fun things! We weren't getting along very well, though. I could hear them talking as I was walking away.
“Wow, I didn't think he'd get so angry,” Katie said.
“This was supposed to be fun,” said Max. “Johnny can't do it all by himself. Maybe if we give him some space he'll want us to help again.”
Yeah, right. Since it was my idea, I would just do it without them. The only problem was that I wanted it done before Thanksgiving so that I could show it to my family when they came over. When Thanksgiving was only two weeks away, I realized that it was just too big a job. I couldn't make the buildings out of boxes and put them around the town, and decorate them all by myself. It was taking too long. I guessed that was why people worked together. When we each had a job, this was fun and went a lot faster. Maybe I should say sorry to Katie and Max. They were just trying to help and have fun with me.
The next day at school, I said sorry to Katie and Max. “I don't know why I got so angry. Building a town was just supposed to be fun. Will you come back to my house today to complete our town?” I asked.
“Sure, Johnny,” they said. We all took on a role and the town was done in no time. It was great!
