I like walking near Mr. Groll's garden with Cho every morning. But I don't like it either.
I like it because the flowers are very beautiful. I dislike it because of Mr. Groll. "Hello, Mr. Groll. " I say to him every morning. But he does not answer me.
He likes flowers. I like flowers, too. Why can't we be friends? It's a mystery to me.
Maybe he's afraid of me because I can't see anything. But he likes playing with my friend Jim. Jim is in a wheelchair (轮椅).
Well, why doesn't he talk to me? Maybe he doesn't like me because I'm a girl.
"Hello, Mai and Cho!" my friend Jane shouts. "Hi, Mr. Groll. "
I wait. But he answers, "Hello, Jane!"
Now I know something: Unfriendly Mr. Groll likes Jim and Jane. But not me and Cho…
Me and Cho! Cho! Maybe I know the answer!
I tie (系;绑) Cho to a tree and feel my way along the fence (围栏).
"Mai! Be careful!" Mr. Groll shouts at me.
I'm surprised. "My Cho makes you afraid. It isn't because I am blind or a girl that you don't like me. "
"Yes, I like you, Mai. And Cho, too. But a German shepherd dog is too big. "
"But friendship is bigger. Come with me. "
I hear a smile in Mr. Groll's words. "OK, " he says, "my friend. "
Friend, he calls me.
"Yes! ▲ !" They both smiled.
Then, I take him to Cho. Slowly, Mr. Groll touches Cho's ears. Cho shakes her tail, showing her friendliness and kindness.
And now I know the answer.
Our new friendship begins.
