taking care of us." But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways tofind friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You
plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose(选择) a friend. What makes a good friend? It is
not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights(吵架). What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have
to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you could write a letter. There are three steps to
being friends again:
Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most
important thing in your life.

| Ever since we became pen pals, Julien has sent me strange things. Once, she sent her sneeze in a jar. ("I have a cold, can you tell?" she wrote. ) Then she sent her fingerprint. ( "So you'll recognize me in a crowd.") Julien sent me breakfast, all right: cornflakes. Soggy, milky, grainy, crumbly, limp cornflakes scraped from the bottom of her cereal bowl. I lost my appetite, but I read the letter.
"I don't know," Mom said."Julien might find a way. After all, she did send you her sneeze. A week later I checked the mail and found a box with air holes and the words "FRAGILE-THIS SIDE UP" printed in bold black letters on the top. It was from Julien. I stroked the box with my fingers. It was perfectly dry. I smelled it. It didn't smell. I held my breath and started opening the package. What if sunbeams spring out and hit me in the face like those fake snakes in a can; I thought? My hands shook as I lifted the last flap and peeked inside. Where in the world was the sunset? All I could find was a letter and a twisty, gray, papery shell. It looked like a submarine. I read the letter.
Julien," I said. Without reading the postscript, I laid the letter and the submarine on the kitchen table. Then I left the room to find a pen so that I could cross out "sun-set" and write "submarine" above it. When I returned, I stared in shock at the submarine. A creature was oozing out of it! Was it a sea monster? I looked closer. It was a winged creature... an insect... a butterfly. An orange, blue, purple, red, and gold butterfly. It looked like... a sunset! While the sunset opened and closed its wings to dry them, I read Julien's postscript. It said, "P. S. Next week I'm sending you Japan." | ||
