Peter didn't have many friends because he always took, but never gave.

One day Peter told Bill, "I'd like to have a party on Saturday. I'd like you to come and bring Martha, too. " “Thanks, Peter, We'd be happy to come.” Bill said. Peter said to Bill, "Perhaps you'd like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I am sure everyone will want you to sing.”

Next, he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. "You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery(面包店).”

Peter invited(邀请) few other friends to come to his party. He also ask something from each one of them. He even asked the Jacksons to let him have the party in their house! They agreed.

The party was very great. However, as the friends were leaving, they said “Thank you" to Bill and Martha for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the house and to others for their hard work.

To Peter they just said," Thanks for the invitation.”
