article: Just how popular was Mini? Very. Every year her classmates voted  her the favorite student. The friends she had were much more than those of anyone else.
  One day Mini was caught yakkety-yakking  and ordered to stay back as punishment . Staying back meant doing something "useful", like helping in the library after school.
  Now Mini's school had a rule. Once a month, if you had something else to do the day you were punished, you could ask a friend to stand in for you.
  Unluckily, her aunt was visiting Mini that day. That afternoon was the only chance Mini had of seeing her for another five years.
  Mini needed someone to stand in for her. She asked Betty, her "best" friend. "Oh, no, Mini, I can't," Betty said. "I must help my brother do his homework."
  "Tony, will you stay back for me?" Mini asked another friend. "I wish you'd told me earlier. I have to go to a relative's house with my father," he said.
  Now, Mini was beginning to doubt  if even one of her friends would agree to stay. But she tried again. She asked three more friends and each one refused.
  So, after school Mini stayed to help the librarian. And, when she found Mini crying after everyone had left, it was she who surprised Mini by allowing her to leave to meet her aunt. "I may have many friends," Mini said to herself, "but in reality I have none."
