when i was in senior grade 2, there was a girl whom i disliked. i do not know why i disliked her. she had always been friendly toward me, and had never done anything to cause me to feel the way i did about her. i was continually saying unpleasant things to her, making fun of her, and snubbing① her.
one day as i was going home from school, the girl caught up with me and said, “miss lin, our teacher, wants you to come back to the schoolhouse for a little while.” i didn't believe her. i just said, “do you think that i would walk back to the schoolhouse just because you told me to? you probably are just telling me that for a joke.” i walked on down the street, leaving the girl standing alone.the next day when i got to school, miss lin asked me, “why didn't you come back to the schoolhouse as i asked you to?” i said, “i didn't know you wanted me. “miss lin sent for the girl and asked her, “did you tell su ming to come back?” the girl answered,“i'm sorry, miss lin, but i didn't tell her; i couldn't catch up with her.”
