THE UNEXPECTED GIFT

There’s a girl named Susan, who is twelve years old, lives in a beautiful house and has a wonderful family that really loves her. She is very popular at school, and she is very kind to every person she meets, that’s the reason why she has a lot of friends.

Valentina is Susan’s bestfriend, she has known Susan since they were six years old. Both of the girls are very excited because Valentine’s Day is coming, and they have made lots of plans.They want to give gifts to each other, because their friendship means a lot to them. They are very important to each other.

But Susan wasn’t thinking just about her best friend, she also was thinking about a boy named Diego. He also was her friend, but she had a crush on him, and she wanted to give him a present too, but she was scared about what he might think about it.

After school she talked to her mom about what was on her mind during the day, and her mom gave her the greatest advice ever. She told her “Susan you need to follow your heart, and if he is a smart boy he will appreciate the present and you, otherwise he doesn’t deserve your friendship”.

Next day at school, Susan was very nervous because it was Valentine’s Day, and she had a present for Diego. But she didn’t know if he would like it.

The first person Susan saw in the class was Valentina, who was extremly excited because of the holiday. When she saw Susan coming into the classroom she took the present and before she could say hello she gave it to her friend with the biggest smile.

Susan received a lot of presents of all her friends, but none of the person she was expecting the most. So she decided to follow her mother’s advice, and be brave. In the recess she was going straight to Diego, when she was face to face with him he said “hey Susan! I was looking for you”, and took out a present just for her. She couldn’t believe it, she was very happy.

Then she gave him a present too, and he hugged her and gave her a kiss.

Valentina was very happy for Susan when she notice that Diego had a crush on Susan too.

With this experience, Susan learned that when you are brave you get amazing and unexpecting results.
