Hide﹣and﹣seek is a traditional game for children.There are two ways to play：covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to make fun of him or，more commonly，some kids hide and one child must try to find them.

12．（8分）    When I was in the sixth grade，my teacher asked our class the question，"What does 'doing the right thing' mean to you？"She asked us to think about it over the weekend，and to talk to anyone else we thought might have a good answer.

I tried to come up with something that would be special and be easy to do.I talked to my parents，called my grandmother，and asked my next door neighbor.Everyone had good answers，but I didn't feel like I could do them.

On Sunday afternoon my parents took me to my aunt's house.After dinner，I found a movie for my four﹣year﹣old cousin Andrea.And then I started to write my article.I still didn't know what I was going to write about.

"What are you doing？"she asked at that time.

"I have to write an article about what doing the right thing means to me."I answered.Andrea laughed."That's easy，"she said.

"Okay，tell me the answer，"I said.

"Doing the right thing means：Be nice to your family and friends.Do what your mum says.Never lie.Take a bath when you're dirty.Gain new knowledge and new abilities.Don't waste water and electricity..."

I looked at Andrea surprisingly.Not only had she answered a very difficult question for me，but I could easily follow all of her rules.And all I had to do was to be nice.So when I wrote my article，I included the story about Andrea.

Two weeks later，my teacher returned everyone's articles.I received an A+ along with a little note my teacher had written："Always do the right thing﹣and give Andrea an A+，too!"
