However, the hairdresser cut Xiaoming’s hair too short. Xiaoming looked at himself in the mirror and his face turned red. He said: “I don’t want to go to school. My classmates will laugh at me.”

The next morning, Xiaoming did not want to go out. At that moment, Lili came to find him.

Xiaoming said: “Lili, look, my hair is too short. I think it looks terrible. I don’t want to go to school.”

Lili said: “It doesn’t matter! Your hair looks great. Let me style your hair into a nice look for you, okay?”

Lili used her hands to tidy up Xiaoming’s hair and styled it into a very cool hairstyle. Xiaoming looked in the mirror again and felt much better.
