"The brat（捣蛋鬼）!" said Alice. She ran into her house with her kids.
Every time Gina walked down the street, her neighbors ran away. Gina was the only child of her parents. Her parents never refused her anything. And Gina, in turn, always made sure that she would get whatever she wanted.
One day Gina's mother noticed that her daughter didn't have any friends. Every child knows that Gina is clever but they just don't want to play with her.
Things changed when Rita joined Gina's class. Rita was new to the city and too shy to make any friends. Gina bossed her around as she always does. But Rita didn't mind.
"Rita cried today in front of the class, Rita went to do her math exercises on the blackboard, She wasn't able to do them although the teacher had explained carefully. Everyone laughed at her," Gina told her mother after school. "Why don't you try to explain to her simply." asked her mother.
"Mommy, I don't want to waste time."
"But Rita is your friend and if you don't help her, who will?"
Very unhappy, Gina helped Rita. Gina has the gift（天赋）of explaining thing simply. Rita understood the math questions and the teacher praised her in front of the class. Rita told everyone what a good friend Gina was. From that day Gina and Rita became best friends. And, no one called Gina "the brat" any more.
