Outside the Box

    The Harvestfest contest was falling on Friday and everyone in school was talking about it. All the students would show up in their self-made costumes(装扮)and a winner would be chosen by the principal.

    “Do you have your costume for the Harvestfest contest?" Alice asked. "I'm going as a chocolate bar. My mom and I have been working on it all week.”

    “Yeah, I have a costume,” said Jordan Eastman, popping up the two front wheels of his wheelchair as he waited for his dad to pick him up. “But it's boring.”

    “Why? What is it?” Alice asked.

    “MaxMag the superhero, but Danny, Tom and Izzy are all going as MaxMag too.” Jordan shook his head. “That's too many to stand a chance at winning the contest.” He waved to his dad, who had just pulled up in front of the school.

    Jordan rolled his wheelchair toward his dad, and Alice walked with him to the minivan(小货车).

    “Maybe you should go as something else.”

    “The contest is Friday night.” Jordan sighed. “It's too late to change costumes.”

When he got home, he found his mum handling with some wooden pieces. She was putting a new desk together. On top of the desk was the huge empty cardboard box the pieces had come in. Mom smiled at Jordan, pointing at the desk, “What do you think?”
