The Friend Who Lied to Me
Reading Passage
Tom and Ben are best friends. They usually walk home together after school.
One Monday, Tom asks Ben, “Do you want to come to my house after school?”
“Sorry, I have to visit my grandma,” Ben says.
But later that afternoon, Tom sees Ben walking into a toy store with another boy.
Tom feels angry. “Why did Ben lie to me?” he thinks.
The next day, Tom doesn’t talk to Ben at school.
“Are you angry with me?” Ben asks.
“You lied to me!” Tom says. “You weren’t visiting your grandma!”
Ben looks surprised. Then he takes a small box out of his backpack.
“I wanted to keep this a secret,” Ben says. “Your birthday is tomorrow. I went to buy you a present with my brother.”
Tom opens the box. Inside is a small toy car. It is his favorite color, blue.
“I’m sorry,” Tom says quietly. “I thought you didn’t want to spend time with me.”
Ben smiles. “You’re my best friend, Tom!”
Tom smiles too. He learns that it’s better to ask questions before getting angry.
