Little John used to live at ease,because he has a happy family and has lots of friends at school.That's why he thought when it was time to elect the monitor of the class.He was most likely to be the one.However,to his surprise,nobody voted for him!He felt he lost face.He was so angry that he turned his back to all his friends.He wanted to find an opportunity to defend against all his so-called friends and find out the reason of his failure.
