My birthday is coming. Father asked me how I would want as my birthday present. I told him I need no present but a party. Father said OK. When I recited the name of my seven friends I planned to invite, he wondered why his guest list did not include my new neighbor Tom. I told him about that I didn’t like to be with a person whom I didn’t know well. And father insisted that I should seize the chance to make new friends.
