Question

Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The December exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends in Purple Girls Club for a get-together. “

As Farah left the kitchen，her father called her from the living room.

Farah went to her father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands. “Farah, what has happened to your grades？You have failed in Mathematics. You were a good student and I had such high hopes for you, my girl. ”her father shook his head.

Farah had no answer. She loved her father very much and hated to see such look in his eyes. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies.

Farah decided to turn to her friends for help. One by one, she called her so-called friends in Purple Girls Club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help. Farah sat sadly on her bed and then made up her mind . She knew only one person would help her. She went downstairs and went to the house across the street.

Hafsa opened the door and welcome her in. “If you need any help, just let me know. We can study together till your exams,” she said.

Next Monday，as two friends entered the school together，Gina the leader of Purple Girls Club saw them and called out “Farah, you know our rules. You cannot be friends with those who do not belong to our club.”

“Gina，I have a new rule about friendship and it is that a friend in need is a friend indeed,” Farah replied sweetly.
