Peter wondered why he didn't have many friends. The reason（原因）was he was always taking, never giving. One day Peter told Bill, "I'd like to give a party on Saturday, I'd like you to come and bring Martha, too." "Thanks, Peter. We' d be happy to come." " Perhaps you'd like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I'm sure everyone will want you to sing for us." That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake.
