Michael was a good boy. He was hard-working but shy, so he had no friends at school. James was a new student in his class. Other students soon got on well with him except Michael.
One day, some boys put some money into Michael's bag and one of them pretended(假装) to have lost his money. Of course, they found the money in Michael's bag at last.
Michael feltshameful， but he could not say anything about it. Soon his classmates called him a thief and laughed at him at school. His teachers also believed he stole the money and called his parents to the school. Just then, James stood out and helped Michael make everything clear.
From that day on, Michael and James became good friends. James often took Michael to take part in many activities and Michael became active. Michael often helped James with his maths. Then Michael got more friends, and he became the monitor in his class.
