27、   I loved everything about school except for one person: Mildred.

Every day, as we walked home after school, she would step on the backs of my shoes. Then, when I stopped to adjust my shoes, Mildred would touch my back. She scared me.

Soon, my mother found something was wrong. I told her the whole story. My mom told me not to worry and said she had a plan.

The next morning, my mom walked up the hill with me. Just as we got to the top of the hill, we saw Mildred.

“Hello, Mildred,” my mom said quietly. Mildred stopped, standing as still as a statue (雕像). Her hands and face were bright red. Her oversized coat hung open. There were only two buttons (纽扣) on it.

My mother didn’t say anything at first. Instead, she buttoned up Mildred’s coat and turned the collar up around her neck.

“I’m Marion’s mother. I need your help, Mildred.” My mother’s hands held Mildred’s as she spoke. “Marion doesn’t have any brothers or sisters. She needs a best friend at school, someone to walk up the hill with her after classes are over. Would you be Marion’s friend, Mildred?”

Mildred chewed (咀嚼) on her bottom lip and nodded. “Oh, thank you!” my mother said. “I just know you are someone I can depend on.” Then she hugged us and left as though nothing unusual had happened.

Mildred and I walked on to school. As I looked over at her, I saw that Mildred was smiling! I’d never seen her smile before.

We walked up the hill each day after school together and pretty soon we became best friends.

I didn’t understand my mom’s plan at the time. But eventually, I came to understand her message: Love never fails.
