I was in the store with Mom and baby Lucy. I was looking at the pictures in a pattern(图案) book, trying to choose what to wear for Halloween.
I wanted to be a princess(公主) but I didn’t get a chance to ask Mom to help me find that page. She was busy. All the women were around Lucy’s pushchair. Mom wasn’t even looking at me. Then Lucy cried(哭) and Mom asked me, “Mary, do you make up your mind?”
I looked down at the book and saw a picture of a kid in a banana costume(服装). I pointed at the “banana”. Mom bought me the banana pattern and a pea-pod pattern for Lucy. When Mom finished making my costume, I knew I had made a mistake. “If I wear the big banana costume to the Halloween party, everyone will laugh at me,” I thought.
When we finally walked to the party, everyone smiled at cute baby Lucy who was on my mother’s back. And when they saw my costume, they smiled, too. Some of them told me I was cute. I guessed people liked bananas. I learned that it didn’t make me upset when people laughed. They thought I was funny in a good way. And guess what! There were three princesses and I was the only “banana” at the party.

Once there was a poor old man called Colonel Harland Sanders. He lived in a small house and had an old car. He was living off the social security(社会保障金). In his sixties, he thought things had to change(改变), so he thought about what he had to do. His friends liked his chicken recipe(食谱) very much. He thought that it might help him to make a change.
He left Kentucky and traveled to different states. He told restaurant owners that he had a mouth-watering chicken recipe and asked them if they would like to buy it. He would like to give the recipe to them for free, just asking for a small percentage(提成) in return. Sounds like a good idea, right?
Unluckily, those restaurant owners didn’t think so. As a result, the old man heard “NO” over 1,000 times. Even after all of those rejections(拒绝), he didn’t give up. He believed his chicken recipe was something special. He heard “NO” 1,009 times before he heard his first yes.
With that one success, Colonel Harland Sanders changed the way that Americans ate chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken, also known as KFC, was born. Now it is the world’s second largest restaurant chain(连锁).
Never give up and always believe in yourself. After all, nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it.
