I’m Peter from No. 2 Middle School. I usually ride my bike home. But today, there is something wrong with my bike, so I take a bus home.

On the bus, I find a seat near a girl. I sit down (坐下) and start to read my story book. After two stops, an old grandma gets on. There are many people on the bus, so she has no seat. I want to read my interesting book, so I don’t give (给) my seat to the grandma.

“Please take my seat, Grandma!” the girl next to me says.

At that time, I find the girl is only seven years old and she takes a big schoolbag.

The grandma also finds this.“No, thank you. You’re really a good girl!” she says.
