She was so happy. Hiding from her friends. She'd always liked this game, hide and seek. She hid in the doorway to the back of her house in her new red gown her mother had saved money for months to buy. As much as she liked hiding, she felt so proud in this red dress that she wanted to run out and show off her new dress to her friends some more, but they all seemed to be more interested in the game. As she crouched in the doorway, she noticed a little bug crawling on her gown. She screamed and flicked it off, running into the warm morning sunlight. Beijing was always warm this time of year. She looked at her beautiful dress in the sunlight, how it sparkled. As she admired her dress her friend ran up from behind her and tagged her with her dirty hand, getting mud on the red gown.
