THIS IS A STORY ABOUT MY FRIEND FRANCES.
SHE TAUGHT ME TO FLY.
AND I TAUGHT HER SOME DANCES.
NOTHING IS BETTER THAN HAVING A FRIEND.
BECAUSE NOTHING BEATS FRIENDSHIP AND PLAYING PRETEND.
FRIENDS CAN BE FURRY, FRIENDS CAN LOVE FOOD, FRIENDS CAN BE FUNNY AND BRIGHTEN YOUR MOOD.
FRIENDS MAKE THINGS BETTER.
THEY KNOW JUST HOW YOU FEEL, AND THE BEST KIND OF FRIEND KNOWS ALL FEELINGS ARE REAL.
AND EVEN THOUGH FRIENDS MAY SOMETIMES GET IN A FIGHT, A HUG OR "I'’’M SORRY" CAN MAKE MOST THINGS RIGHT.
SO, GO MAKE A FRIEND AND HAVE LOTS OF FUN, AND ANOTHER GREAT THING IS YOU CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE.
THE END.
FRIENDS.
