Starting to Love Math

David was not good at math. When he had a math class, he felt very scared and worried. When the teacher asked questions, David couldn't answer. He didn't understand anything.

Every afternoon, David stayed in the library to study. He watched videos on websites and read his math book many times, but he didn't improve.

One day, Sam saw David in the library while he was crying quietly. Sam was the best math student in the class. "Shall I help you with math?" Sam came and asked.

David said, "Yes, please. I don't understand math at all."

Sam smiled warmly. "It's okay! Let's study together after school every day."

They practiced math together for three weeks. Sam explained everything slowly, and David listened carefully. He also studied very hard at home every night.

Slowly, David started to understand math better. In class, he could answer some questions. The teacher was very happy for him.

After a few months, David wasn't scared of math class anymore. He actually enjoyed it! "Math is interesting now," David told Sam one day with a big smile.

Sam smiled back. "You did a great job!" But then he looked sad.

"What's wrong?" David asked.

"I prepared everything for the art project, but my picture looks horrible. I can't draw well," Sam said.

David laughed. "Don't worry! I'm good at art! I can help you now, just like you helped me."

Sam said, "Really? Thank you so much!"
