Last summer,Kelly went to a fishing village for vacation with her parents. As soon as she arrived, she ran to the beach with her watercolors,brushes and paper.

Fishermen were busy fishing. Seabirds were flying around. Just then a red-haired girl passed by. “Hello there!” said Kelly.

“Hello,” said the girl, but she didn’t stop. In fact, she seemed to walk faster. Kelly was unhappy. She thought it would be boring if she couldn’t make any friends in the village.

After a while, Kelly climbed up on the rocks and began to paint. She was painting a blue band (条纹) when she heard someone climbing up the rock behind her. She knew her parents were on the beach below. Who could this be? She turned her head to look. It was the red-haired girl!

“Can I watch you painting?” asked the girl.

Kelly was so surprised that she could hardly answer. But she said, “Of course! I’m not much of a painter, though.” The girl, Marie, then sat down beside Kelly.

“I just couldn’t keep away when I saw you painting!” she said. “I guess you painted the blue band for the sea. Maybe you could mix a lovely blue with green.”

Kelly gave it a try and said, “You are so great!”

“Are you going to stay long?” asked Marie.

“Well, I think so,” answered Kelly. “We like it here and I think I’ve got a new friend now.”

The two girls looked at each other. Smiles shone on their faces.
