Alice and her Gift
Alice lived in Paris, France, with her parents. She attended a school called "L'ecole des Roses". Mrs. Richard, Alice's teacher explained perspective to the students and showed them pictures of buildings that were made in perspective. She gave an assignment in which the kids were to draw a street with buildings and houses in perspective. The person who had the best picture would receive a gift.
The girls thought about how they would start the picture. When class ended and there was a break, Alice explained how to draw something in perspective to Isabelle because she did not understand it
Alice put a lot of effort into her picture. She used a ruler to draw the lines for the building that she was drawing. She took only two days to complete her assignment.
Everyone turned in her assignment on Wednesday. It took a couple of days to decide who did the best drawing and would receive the gift.
Mrs. Dupont, the director of the school, and Mrs. Richard looked at all the drawings that all the students did. She found that the best pictures were Alice's and Isabelle's. Now the question was which picture should be chosen to win. Only one winner could receive the gift. Mrs. Dupont chose Alice's picture because it had nice colors and the best representation of perspective.
When the grades of everybody's pictures were posted on the board, Alice saw that she had the best grade. The teacher told her that she was the winner and would be given the gift at graduation the next week. Isabelle was really upset and did not want to watch the ceremony, but her mother insisted that she attend.
Isabelle looked for a way to interrupt the graduation so that Alice would not receive a gift. In her mother's purse, she found her classmates' drawings, including Alice's. She took Alice's picture and hid it in a drawer in her room.
When the graduation party came, teachers posted all the drawing of pupils who deserved gifts for the excellent work they had done. Mrs. Dupont was looking for Alice's picture, but it had disappeared. She looked for it many times but did not find it.
The day of the party, Alice went to Isabelle's house so they could go to school for the graduation party. Isabelle was still taking a shower, so Alice waited for her in her room. She saw that a drawer was opened slightly and, curious, decided to look at the books that were in there. She saw a big drawing paper in there, so she looked at it and discovered that it was her picture. She understood what Isabelle was trying to do. She put her drawing under her arm, left Isabelle's room and ran to school.
The mayor of the city had been invited for the graduation party too and really liked Alice's picture. He gave her the gift. Isabelle was present at the graduation party, was surprised to see that the picture was posted on the board and that Alice received her gift. She was upset and did not know how the picture that was in her drawer could have been posted on the board. She frowned and ran off hide somewhere.
