Almost everything was fantastic in the nature camp except for a girl, Elizabeth. When I saw her sitting alone in the hot sun at lunch, I asked her to eat with us under a(n) ______ tree. However, Elizabeth refused my kind ______. When we invited her to play volleyball with us, Elizabeth ______ our invitation, too. After a few more ______ refusals like that, I decided to stay away from Elizabeth.
It ______ that we were going on a nature ______ and that our instructor paired everyone up with a partner. Guess who my partner turned out to be. It was Elizabeth!
“What do you like to do ______?” I asked, trying to make small ______ as we started out. “I like to ______ in peace and quiet,” Elizabeth ______. So we had the quietest and most peaceful hike in the world ______ we saw a bird. “I think his wing is hurt. Poor little bird,” Elizabeth said ______. “He might be taking a rest over there.” I said. Elizabeth nodded. Then she whispered, “But what if he’s in ______, like my granddad?” “Your granddad?” I said. “He ______ and broke his leg the day the camp started. He’s ______ in hospital and is in so much pain,” Elizabeth explained. I noticed she was ______. “I’m sorry for what I have done. For some reason, whenever I get really sad, I act ______ and want to be alone,” she added.
“I get it,” I said. “I don’t always know how to ______ it when I’m feeling down, either.” “Thanks,” she said, wiping off her tears.
After that, Elizabeth seemed to get along well with us, and I think she actually ______ the last few days of the camp.
Next time, if someone is unfriendly, give him a second ______. Maybe he’s going through a tough time.
