New Year's Fireworks

Last night was the New Year in China. I went out to a bridge with my friend to watch the fireworks.  We were in the crowd, and we could see the fireworks and the tower on the lake, but I wondered why the fireworks look so small. There must have been a better place to watch it.

Then my friend said: "Ohh, those rich people have the right to watch it from the boat on the lake."
In that moment I was really jealous of them.

Later on, though, my friend said to me: "imagine that you are on the boat now, and there is an old, fat, bald man by your side, touching your leg, the fireworks in the sky above you.  You see those young people far away on the bridge, friends, young couples-- their hair is a mess, and they are drinking, laughing and kissing each other..."

"Stop saying that, it's horrible!" I yelled at her.

"Of course this is extreme, but if there is a rich attractive young couple on the boat, it's still weird.  The best is happy young friends like us."
I nodded my head for I agreed with her, but then a sad thought crossed my mind;

Maybe I'll never be upper class..... :(
