Ann was my best friend. She had come to play half an hour ago and I didn't want her to leave. "Your mother said you could stay an hour." I said.

Ann pointed at the Teddy Bear on my desk. "I'll stay if you give me your Teddy Bear." she said.

I couldn't imagine giving it to her. It was a special gift from Aunt Reba on my tenth birthday. My aunt was a beautiful and kind woman who was never too busy to spend time with me. The day she died I cried for hours unable to believe that I would never see her again. Now when I saw the Teddy Bear I was filled with memories（回忆）of Aunt Reba.

“Come on,” Ann shouted, “I'm your best friend."

I don't know what came over me but I really wanted someone to play with me. So I handed Ann the Teddy Bear! Then she stayed.

That evening I went to bed without dinner. The memories of Aunt Reba brought tears to my eyes. How ashamed I felt. I was sad all night.

Alone in the dark I asked myself "Is Ann really my best friend?”

At school the next day I found Ann. I asked for the Teddy Bear. She was surprised at first. Then she thought for a few seconds and finally said "Okay, I don't like it anyway."

After that Ann and I stopped playing together. Through the years I have had other best friends. I have come to understand that best friends are people who want to spend time with you and they ask nothing in return.
