S31 183. Grateful for What We Have

“Shania!” Poppy’s voice suddenly broke Shania’s thoughts. When she turned around, her best friend was holding out her clothes. “Wear this first. I think Philip is right. Soon, there could be visitors coming to watch the midnight sun. Don’t let them see you like this.”

Shania’s eyes filled with tears, looking straight at her best friend’s face. Her lips were pressed tightly, waiting for words from her brain which was still busy digesting the situation.

how you think I’m lucky to have Philip, I would be very grateful if I had a friend like Poppy. So, instead of being jealous of each other, how about we just be grateful for what we have?”

While Poppy blinked in confusion, Shania looked down. She had been friends with Poppy since childhood. She had ignored her several

“Sorry, I don’t understand what you are discussing, but Shania has to wear clothes first,” Poppy interrupted before turning Shania’s shoulders to face her. “Come on, Shania. Your mother will scold me if

Poppy put Shania’s head into the hole in her t-shirt. Unlike usual, Shania resigned herself to being treated like a child.
