Secret Santa
Look!
Bess cried. My card is in the shape of a Christmas tree. And there are M&M’s on the branches. They look like Christmas lights!
That’s really cool,
Nancy said.
So where’s your card?
Bess asked. "What did you get?"
Nancy’s desk was right next to Bess’s. She looked at her desktop. It was bare.
Nothing,
Nancy said. She got a big lump in her throat. I guess I got nothing!
