The next day would be picture day. Poppy smiled at herself in the mirror. She was trying on her new dress. It looked perfect. Her picture would be in the yearbook forever.
In the kitchen, Poppy spilled (酒) some juice down the front of her dress. I'll wash i," her mom said." Now get changed. We're going to the eye doctor. "
At the doctor's office, Poppy worried about her dress. Suddenly, she heard the doctor say," Your glasses are ready." Poppy didn't want glasses. She hoped she wouldn't have to wear them for picture day.
The next morning, Poppy put on her new dress, but it was tight and short." Oh, no!" she cried." My dress shrank in the wash!" She ran to get an older dress.
Waiting with her classmates, Poppy fussed with (摆弄) her glasses. Beside her,
Raul said, "You're lucky your parents didn't make you get a haircut. " "And you can still smile!?" Lei said. She had a few missing teeth. Rosa had a bandage (创可贴) across her nose. Evan's arm was in a cast (石膏固定). "I guess we all have something we don't like about our looks. No one is perfect," Poppy said.
"You're up, second graders," the photographer called. Poppy thought about taking off her glasses. Then the photographer smiled at her and said," Nice glasses!" Poppy smiled back and looked at her classmate. They couldn't take off a bad haircut or hide a broken arm. They all had their difference. That's what made them unusual. Poppy left her gasses on.
"Cheese!" the class called out.
"Perfect!" the photographer said.

Enid lives in a village called Rwibale Moja in Uganda, a country in East Africa.
Since her husband died three years ago, she's brought up six children on her own. She grows bananas, beans and corn on her farm.
Enid and her children walk four miles to collet water from a natural spring (泉水), and it can take them over three hours. When the spring dries up each year, they walk even farther. They spend the daylight hours walking the same dirt path to fill their containers with unsafe drinking water.
All six children are attending school. When Enid needs help with the water during the dry season, her children miss up to three days of school every week to collect water from faraway ponds.
"They have big dreams. I can see them in their eyes, so I keep them in school as much as I can," Enid said. "They give me so much hope. '
The money Enid can make from her farm is only $2 1. 29 every harvest season,
and the cost of treatment (治疗) for water-related diseases is always more. The doctor
at the local clinic treats her children on credit (赊账), knowing that Enid will pay as soon as her next harvest is ready.
The medical costs from the polluted water have put Enid in mounting debt (债台高筑). Safe water can change everything for her family.
