“Look! Here comes Mr. Arevalo,” Dindo told his friends. Mr. Arevalo
works as one of the supervisors in a very big mall in the their place.
“Hi, boys! It seems you are all very free today. Who wants to see a movie
with me? I have an extra ticket,” said Mr. Arevalo.
“I, Sir,” the three boys answered together.
“Oh! The three of you like to come. But I have only one extra ticket. You
draw lots. Will it be okay? Mr. Arevalo asked.
“Okay, Sir. There will be no problem for us,” the three friends answered.
The boys drew lots. Each boy was excited and hoping that he can would be the
one. As the boys waited with eyes closed, Mr. Arevalo was getting ready to
announce the name of the lucky one.
“Joshua will come with me!” Mr. Arevalo told the boys.
“That’s great, Joshua! Enjoy yourself and congratulations!” the two boys
happily told Joshua as each shook with his hand.
For a while, Mr. Arevalo was silent. Then he said, “You are good friends,
indeed. You should be seeing the movie together. Let’s all go.”
“Oh, thank you, Sir! We appreciate your kindness. You’re our good friends,
Too,” the boys said.
