"Come on, Amy. You must try harder," Amy told herself. She was in her class' Second-Day-of-School Game. You see, her classmates, whom she only met yesterday. This was her first chance to make new friends and she was nervous (緊張的). So far, no one had given any useful advice—after all, she was totally new to this town. Luckily, Amy had worked out the first two clues (線索) and had been to the post office. Now they were in front of the cinema. Henry read aloud the third clue: "Go to our town founder's (建立者) last resting place." "To the cemetery (墓地)," Cindy said. "No, wait!" Amy said. "I've read about it. The founder was buried (埋) near the library." "Good job! That will save a lot of time," Cindy smiled at Amy. "We still need to hurry," Tyler said, pointing to the Yellow Team coming near. "I know a shortcut!" Henry said. "Follow me!" No one moved. Henry said, "You know I'm always running late. I know every shortcut in town." The others finally agreed. After a few turns, they broke through! This time Amy read the clue aloud: "Now go to the place where the football is running around!" "The football centre!" They called out together and started to run... Now they'd got the final clue: Look where you've been, see where you are. Use your map and you'll find the star! Looking closely at her map, everyone thought hard. "Aha! A star!" Cindy suddenly shouted. She quickly took out a pencil, and drew lines on the map. Everyone understood. They began running back to where they started. They were closer and closer, and finally crossed the finish line—just one step behind the Red Team! "So close..." Tyler made a face, and they all laughed together. "Nice job, new girl," Cindy gave Amy a high-five. "That was really fun," said Henry. "I hope we'll be on the same team soon." "Me too," Amy agreed, smiling.
