（2016宁波十校联考）阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Holly was confused as she opened the birthday present from her friend, Susan – it was a twelve-by-eighteen-inch dark blue carpet. Her “thanks” was hardly heard as Holly tried hard not to show her disappointment.
The next morning, I carried a kitchen rubbish bag outside only to find Susan’s carpet lying there. I reached in and pulled it out of the can. After giving it brushing, I brought it into the house and put it away.
Before Holly’s birthday, Susan had been a regular visitor in our home. But I realized it had been nearly three weeks since we’d even heard the mention of Susan’s name. I missed her warm smile and eager-to-please ways.
“Susan invited me to come over to her house after school tomorrow.” Holly announced as she put her books down on the kitchen table. Although her voice carried a so-what attitude, I sensed she was pleased by the invitation.
We were travelling along the winding country road that led to her house the following day. On the way Susan talked nervously about her foster mother and the seventeen cats they had taken in and cared for.
When we came to a stop, Susan’s foster mother- who introduced herself as Glenda- gave us a warm welcome.
I followed Susan’s foster mom, Glenda, into the kitchen. After clearing a small area, Glenda poured us each a cup of black coffee with trembling hand. Then she began to relax as we drank our coffee and chatted about her cats.
Her eyes shone as she showed her fondness for Susan. But her expression turned blue when she referred briefly to the girl’s past. In a short time, I came to respect this generous-hearted woman who had opened her home to a young girl and attempted to make a difference in her life.

“Is this what you were looking for”
