"All
right, everyone, listen up!" said Rey." I have something important to
say."
Rey had always had something important to say since the first day of primary school. "This is really a big project," said Rey. "Trust me. As long as I'm in charge, we'll have the most wonderful project ever!"
"It seems like Rey is always in charge," murmured(小声说)Jake.
It was true. Rey always seemed to be in charge of everything. He wanted everything to be as perfect as possible, and he just believed that he was the only person who could make that happen.
This time, Rey decided to do a play about the Wright brothers and the first airplane flight. He announced that he would be the director, and he had also decided on the role that everyone would play. He would play the part of Orville Wright. He even had made the costumes, which Hannah would like to do.
The next day, Rey announced he was going to play Wilbur Wright.
"How can you play both of the Wright brothers?" asked Hannah.
"I'll just put on different hats for each one," said Rey.
The next afternoon, no one showed up at the rehearsal (排练) except Rey. An hour had passed, and he still hadn't heard from others.
Finally, Rey called Stephen. "I quit the play," said Stephen. "In fact, we all quit. We're going to do something else."
Rey spent the rest of the afternoon working on the play. Moving the set himself took too long, and running around to change costumes left him out of breath. Worst of all, half the airplane dragged on the ground as Rey pulled it across the stage. Rey felt upset and confused.
He knew now that he couldn't do the play alone. He needed his friends' help if it was going to work at all.
The next day at school, Rey had a talk with his friends, "I'm going to change. I promise I will listen to you. What do you want to do?
"Hannah thought the play should he shorter and Jake wanted to make a new airplane that would be easier to handle. Stephen thought everyone should get a chance to play a real part like Wilbur Wright. Fern wanted to be able to act her part the way she wanted.
"You are probably right," Rey said. "Let's try it your way.
"Everyone smiled.
