Kate ad Jenny went to school together for several years and were friends. Kate had a younger sister, but Jenny didn't have any brothers or sisters. Then Kate and Jenny left school, and after a few years both of them got married and had children.

They didn't live near each other now. Both of them were busy with their families, so they didn't see each other, until Kate's sister got married.

"Oh, fine, Jenny,” Kate answered quickly. "There's only one little thing."

"Oh, what's that?" asked Jenny.

"Well, she hates him," said Kate. "But there's always something wrong with everything, isn't there? Nothing's ever perfect."
