It was Emily's turn to tell her class where she went this summer. She stood up proudly.
"This summer I went to Bradley, Emily announced." It has a big market there. My mom bought a painting and I got a second-hand skateboard. What an impressive trip it was!"
"That's not a trip," Frank shouted loudly to his partner. "It's only half an hour from here. My dad and I often go to Bradley to buy tools for his repair workshop."
"Frank, no interrupting," said Miss Clare, their teacher. "And Bradley has a fine market. I'm glad that Emily shared her experience with us. Go ahead, Emily." Miss Clare smiled warmly at her, encouraging her to continue.
But not feeling proud of her family's trip to Bradley any more, Emily just felt embarrassed and dropped her head, saying in a low voice that it was finished. In the hope of not being noticed, the little girl hurriedly back to her desk with a red face.
She listened as Peter talked about his cruise to Greece and Mary's trip across the Atlantic to Ireland. She also heard about John's horseback ride through the Great Canyon. It seemed as if everyone but her had taken a big trip over the summer. "I never get to anywhere," Emily thought to herself. A sense of loss clouded her the whole day.
After school, things went worse. One of the wheels on Emily's skateboard came loose. Now she couldn't even skate. Sitting on the sidewalk, Emily tried to fix her wheel but in vain, during which Miss Clare happened to pass by.
She walked up with a smile, asking "Why are you sitting here?" Emily lowered her head, tears welling up inside her eyes. "Want to talk about it?" Emily nodded, trying to avoid Miss Clare' eyes. Bending down, Miss Clare said gently "You know, Emily, we don't always have to travel far to learn anything."
