Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party（化装晚会） instead.

“Sorry！Maybe I was too hard on your just now.” said the man, “Here’s ＄10.”

“Oh, thank you Daddy！” he said happily. Then the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.
