Five minutes later, Jasmine opened the door and let her in, hopping with excitement. Becca noticed that she was wearing her favorite pink shirt and had wrapped her dark hair in a pink scarf. “Me first!” Jasmine said. “Close your eyes while I tie it on.” Becca squeezed her eyes closed and felt Jasmine pull something tight around her wrist. “You can open your eyes now,” Jasmine said, clapping her hands. Becca looked at the rainbow-colored woven bracelet that Jasmine had made for her, and she grinned. Jasmine knew she loved rainbows. “I love it!” Becca exclaimed. “Now, it’s my turn. Close your eyes!” Jasmine closed her eyes, as Becca smiled in anticipation. Jasmine was going to love her bracelet.
