The next day Dani tried to give the letter to Jonathan.
But he wasn’t interested.
He had braces and a new bike. A BMX.
You got on a BMX as if it was a horse.
Otherwise there was nothing special about that sort of bike. It didn’t even have a basket.
Soon Jonathan put it down and started playing marbles.
Again, Dani tried to give him the letter.
He waited until he’d won three times before he read it.
He nodded to Dani. “I won’t need false teeth.”
Then at last Dani was happy again.
When Mickey and Vicky shouted to Dani to come and jump rope, she was even happier.
Jump rope was one of her specialties.
That day she managed to do five hundred jumps.
Her whole class stood and watched.
