Johnny and his friends were making a cardboard(硬纸板) town to play in. At first they were getting on well, turning boxes into stores and playgrounds, but soon they had different ideas.
"It was my idea," Johnny said, “so I would just do it without you." Then he walked away in anger and left his friends Katie and Max alone.
“Wow, I didn't expect he'd get so mad," Katie said.
“Making a cardboard town is a lot of work," said Max.“Johnny can't do it all by himself. Maybe if we give him some time, he'll want us to help again.
Johnny wanted to finish the cardboard town before New Year's Day so that he could show it to all of his family when they came over, but New Year's Day was only two weeks away. When he started again, he found it was a big job. He couldn't make the buildings out of boxes, put them around the town, and decorate (装饰) them all by himself. It would take a long time,
“I guess that's why people work together. When we each played a part, it was fun and everything went faster.Maybe I should say sorry to my friends. They were just trying to help and have fun with me," Johnny said to himself.
The next day at school, Johnny said sorry to Katie and Max. “I don't know why I got so mad. Will you come to my house tomorrow to complete our town ' Johnny asked.
