“叮叮叮！”
一阵铃声响起，午餐时间到了！我和我的朋友已经闻到了我们最喜欢的食物——意大利面的香味。我们跑到自助餐厅。
我注意到今天自助餐厅来了个新人。他看起来与众不同，他给我食物时根本不说话。他个子很高，脸上基本没有任何表情。其他老师会问我们是否想要更多，但他似乎很害羞。
该回家了。在车上，我告诉妈妈，“妈妈，今天在学校有个人，他不怎么说话也不怎么笑。”
我妈妈回答说，“亲爱的，他叫卡比尔。他是你们英语老师的儿子（奥利夫人是我的老师）”
“哦，”我说，“但他为什么不和人交流呢？”我问道。
“亲爱的，因为他是星星的孩子。”
“星星的孩子？”我问道。
“是的。”我妈妈说。然后她开始解释。Kabeer 是一个自闭症患者。他很难与其他人交流。他感到孤独，就像生活在自己的小世界里一样。我妈妈补充说，他还需要很多爱和帮助才能恢复正常。当我听到这个消息时，我为他感到难过。
第二天。“今天我要和卡比尔谈谈。”我对自己说。
我去了自助餐厅，我想在他为我服务时和他谈谈，但他今天没有为我服务。我很失望。但是，当我去储物柜拿夹克时，我看到卡比尔来了！
我立刻说，“嗨，我是阿米拉！”
然后我递给他一颗糖。他犹豫了两秒钟，然后接过了糖果。他轻声喃喃地说：“嗨。”然后就走了。
第二天我又在储物柜那里见到他了。这次他没那么害羞了，他说：“嗨，阿米拉，你最喜欢的食物是什么？”
我很惊讶：他竟然不害羞了。
“寿司！”我说。
我一天天地了解他，最后终于让他笑了起来。然后我告诉我的朋友关于卡比尔的事，他需要爱和支持。我的朋友也和我一样，我们和他说话，我们试着逗他笑，我们为他准备小糖果……
卡比尔现在知道我们所有人的名字了，我们喜欢和他聊天，逗他开怀大笑。
三年级的最后一天。Kabeer给了我一盒寿司。放学路上，我告诉妈妈：“妈妈，今天我吃到了我这辈子最好的寿司。”
妈妈笑了。

Child of the Stars
Driiiiiing!
It was lunch time! My friends and I could already smell our favorite food from way up here: it was pasta! We ran down to the cafeteria.
I noticed a new guy at our cafeteria today. He seemed different. He did not talk at all when he gave me the food. He was also very tall and had no reaction. Other teachers would ask if we wanted more, but he seemed shy.
It was time to go home. In the car, I told my mom, “Mommy, today at school there was this guy. He doesn’t talk or smile that much.”
My mom answered, “Honey, that guy’s name is Kabeer. He is your English teacher’s son.”
“oh, but why doesn’t he communicate with people? ”I asked.
“Sweetie, it’s because he’s a child of the stars.”
“Child of the stars?” I asked.
“ Yes,” my mommy said. Then she started to explain. Kabeer is an person with autism on the spectrum. It is hard for him to communicate with other people. He feels lonely like he lives in his own little world.” After my mom added that he also needs a lot of love and help to communicate. When I heard that I felt bad for him.
The next day……
“Today I’m gonna talk to Kabeer,” I said to myself.
I went to the cafeteria, planning to talk to him when he served me, but he wasn’t here, I was disappointed. But when I went to my lockers to get my jacket, I saw Kabeer was there!
I said immediately, “Hi I’m Amirah!”
Then I handed him a candy. He hesitated for two seconds, then he took the candy. He said in a soft mumbling voice, “Hi.” Then he left.
The next day I saw him at the lockers again. This time he was much less shy. He said, “Hi Amirah ,what’s your favorite food?”
I was shocked that he wasn’t shy.
“Sushi! ” I said.
Day by day, I got to know him more and then finally I got him to crack a smile. I told my friends about Kabeer that he needed our love and support. My friends also did the same as me: we talked to him, we tried to make him laugh, we prepared little candies for him……
Kabeer now knew all our names. We loved to talk to him and getting him to laugh.
On the last day of school, Kabeer gave me a box of Sushi. I told my mom, “ Mommy, today I had the best Sushi of my life!” Mom laughed.
