The art class was over in a blink of an eye. When the recess bell (下课铃) rang, Lisa sighed. At her old school, she used to play with her friends. Now she sat in the corner of the field and watched the other kids play without her.
As she cleared her table, Lisa noticed a box of chalk by the window. She put it in her pockets. Then she took her usual place at the end of the recess line.
As she and her classmates walked down the hall and out into the yard, Lisa remembered how she and her mother used to draw chalk designs on the long driveway leading to the old apartment. The patterns were called rangoli (印度传统地画), and they looked like stars and roses. Lisa’s mother said that the drawings were to welcome guests to their home. Lisa missed the early mornings she and her mother would spend drawing those colorful patterns.
Lisa walked to the basketball court and sat on the sidewalk. She took chalk out of her pocket and began to draw her favorite rangoli pattern. She drew flowers with huge petals (花瓣) and stars with eight points.
“That’s pretty,” a voice said. She turned around and saw that Eric, a boy in her class, was watching her.
“It’s called rangoli,” she said.
“The floor of my grandmother’s house has patterns like that,” Eric said.
“What do you mean?” Lisa asked. “Hand me a piece of chalk,” Eric said. Eric sat down on the pavement and began to draw. He drew flowers that were more detailed than Lisa’s, but still had huge petals. Then he drew circles inside circles, and surrounded them with small diamonds. Lisa kept drawing too.
“What are you guys doing?” a voice asked. Lisa and Eric had been so absorbed in drawing that they hadn’t noticed that their classmate Emma had been watching them.
“Hey,” Emma said, sitting down beside them, “that looks like the rugs (小地毯) in my uncle’s house. Except on the rugs, the shapes are bigger, and aren’t as curly (卷曲的).”
