The end of the school year was coming, and it was time for the school play. This year’s play was Romeo and Juliet. Rick hoped to be Romeo in it.
After school, Rick and lots of other students went to the gym for the audition (试演). Only several of them would have a chance. Their names would be on the board the next day. Later, Rick saw his friend Kevin’s name on the board, but he couldn’t find his.
“I can’t understand why I’m not in the play,” Rick said to his mum.
“It just means that someone was a little better than you,” Mum said.
Two days later, Mr Carter, the head teacher, asked Rick if he was interested in doing some drawing for the play. “I know you’re good at art,” said Mr Carter.
Rick was so happy. After getting back home, he told it to his mum. Mum said, “See, your teacher knows you well. And I believe you can do it well too.”
On the night of the play, he watched his friend Kevin and his pictures. At the end of the show, Mr Carter called all the students that worked on the play onto the stage (舞台). Rick was really excited. He felt good about himself.
