it look pressed beautiful. The oil refineries looked like castles from a children's book. fiscinatel 5 Some even breathed fire, as if dragons were inside. My mother and Bob's mother were friends. That gave Bob a reason 10 to come and see me every night. My mother liked Bob a lot. So I had to bych sit on the swing getting seasick. I watched the dragon in a refinery breathing fire. Bob was talking about his cousin Jimmy, who played bridge. Bob had a habit of repeating himself. I was glad when he came to the end. "Do you play bridge, Kay?" doesn't want to "No," I said. I tried to make sure we had very little in common. "How about going to the movies Saturday night?" he asked. 15 20 Bob wasn't looking at the view. Things like that didn't interest him. He was talking about his relatives. He could be so boring. I didn't really hate him. He couldn't help it if he was boring and stupid. 25 "I'm going to be busy then. Sorry." "What are you doing?" "I have some important poetry to write." "You've been busy a lot lately, Kay." Talmost said, "Did you ever wonder why?" But I didn't. Bob sighed. "I'm worried. It's April, and I haven't heard from a single college." ammaged "Everything will work out," I said. "You can say that because you are smart. College will be a breeze for you. But I want to be a lawyer, and it will be tough." "You worry too much." I felt strange saying this. I felt law school would be tough for Bob. But I didn't want to be cruel. under rating Lempathizig 1st person narrates 30 "You didn't have to say it. I know." "Bob, you know I think you're a great guy." "I'm not a great guy. We both know I'm not. You think I'm stupid because you're smart. You think you're too good for me. I used to be happy here. Now I come because my mother makes me. You think come here because I love you or something. Well, it isn't that. Not at 40 all." 35 He touched my shoulder. "You really don't like me, do you, Kay?" "Bob, that's not a nice thing to say!" Suddenly I felt guilty. "But it's true. I'm not a stupid as you think." "Have I ever said that I didn't like you?" It bothered me that Bob might see through me. maged I felt wounded. I never thought Bob would see the truth. "Kay, I'm going and I'm not coming back." Suddenly, I was speaking. "Well. Leave then! You are boring and dull. I only sit here because our mothers are friends." I expected his eyes to look hurt. But they flashed with excitement. "I think that is the first time you've ever told me the truth. You're a phony, Kay. And that's worse than being stupid." He touched my shoulder again, gently. "I could like you, Kay. I really could. But the truth isn't important to you." He smiled. To my horror, my eyes were filling with tears. The orange flame of the refinery blurred. "Well, I'd better be going," Bob said. "I'm going to miss this swing." I heard his car drive away. I got up and wiped my eyes on my sleeve. I went inside. My parents were watching television. 55 "Where did Bob go?" my mother asked. "He ... he had some poetry to write." I stumbled into my room. From my bed, I watched the dragon's orange-and-red flame- until the colors melted and were washed away. 45 50 egoistic +rude blisiespect classtest No. 1 1) The short story, The Dragon ", written by Cynthia Zeynep Forder, is about some boy named Kay, who argues with an childhood friend because of their T different hobbys and habits R The argument starts on a porch, where Kay sits on a swing and Bob is rocking it for him. 26th September 2019 But Kays and Bob's mums are friends.
