A boy called Mario loved to have many friends. He showed off a lot, always talking about how many friends he had at school. One day his grandpa said to him, “Mario, I bet you don’t have as many friends as you think. I am sure many of them are just acquaintances (泛泛之交).”

Mario disagreed with his grandpa. However, he wasn’t sure how he could test whether or not his schoolmates were real friends. Now his grandpa had something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s unseen, it’s rather difficult to sit on. But if you take it to school and manage to sit on it, you’ll believe its magic (魔力) and be able to tell who your real friends are.”

Mario took the strange chair and set off for school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle and put himself in the middle with his chair.

Lavina kept asking questions and making notes on what Kurt said. “Here are the notes for your paper,” she said.

“My paper?” Kurt started reading Lavina’s notes. “You think this could be my report?”
