CHAPTER 4 THE RICH SPOILT GIRL
But, none of them could say the same of Betty. She was in the same class as Keong. The daughter of a very rich man and being the only child in her family, she was very spoilt
. She was also proud. Her friends and classmates found it difficult to like her. They found her rude and selfish.
They avoided sharing a table with her in the canteen. They saw her walking towards them in the canteen. They would walk away. Her classmates called her“Miss High Nose”. It was common to hear them say that.
Poor Betty. She had no friends and nobody to talk to. She had nobody to do homework with. She ate alone in the school canteen.
Betty brought meat buns and fried chicken to school. But, she ate them alone. No classmates would sit with her. There was nobody to share her food with. And she refused to make the first move.

Betty told her mother how lonely she was in school. Her mother told her,“Don't be so proud. Nobody likes a proud person. Go and talk to them. And be nice when you talk to them.” was in school. Her mother told her,“Don't be so proud. Nobody likes a proud person. Go and talk to them. And be nice when you talk to them.”
But, Betty was too proud to make the first move. She was thinking, “They do not like me. Let it be. I don't need their friendship.” So, she went everywhere alone.
Being friendless and lonely in school,school life was boring to her. She had nobody to turn to for help when doing homework. Neither did she join any of the group discussions.
She was very lonely at home too. Her parents were too busy to spend time with her. Her father was a busy Director of many companies. He was always travelling overseas. Her mother owned a beauty products company. She too was travelling overseas.
The maids raised Betty. They attended to her every need. Yet, she shouted at them over nothing. Being proud, she thought they were only maids. The driver fetched her to school every day. She also shouted at him. So, none of them liked her.

Betty's parents knew their daughter was rude and proud. But, they were too busy to teach her. They expected her nanny to teach her.
At that time, she was only five years old. But, Betty's shouting made her nanny cry often. Not able to put up with the spoilt girl's behaviour and temper, her nanny left when she started going to school.
