Jamie and Corey are best friends . One day Jamie told his pal Corey a secret he had overheard in the office . He softly whispered (耳语) to Corey that the school was going to host a sundae party for all the fifth graders who had a perfect behavior record. Corey asked Jamie what a perfect behavior record meant. Jamie told him perfect meant a student hadn't been sent to the headmaster's office or punished to stay after school the whole year. Corey thought this was a great idea because he was tired of being good without reward(回报) –it seemed all the naughty kids were having the most fun.
Corey couldn't take his mind off the party and kept thinking about delicious sundaes with hot sweet topping and cream . During reading group , Corey told his group partner , Daniel ,the secret . Corey whispered so softly that Daniel misunderstood the secret. Daniel thought that Jamie was having a sundae party and kids had to be on their best behavior to be invited . Daniel was thrilled to be told a secret.
Back at Daniel's desk , his seat partner Matt asked Daniel what he was smiling about . Daniel wasn't a very good secret-keeper. He did not hesitate to tell Matt the great news. “ There is going to be a party on Sunday and maybe you can go if Jamie likes you.”
Matt wanted to go to the party so badly , but he wasn't sure if Jamie knew him . After school , Matt waited for Jamie outside of his classroom . When Jamie exited , Matt asked him , “Can I come to your birthday party on Sunday ?”
Jamie looked at Matt curiously , “ What are you talking about ? I'm not having a birthday party ! Where did you hear that ? I told Corey the school was having a sundae party !”
