Selfishness can sink your friend “ship”

I’m sure that you have seen the cartoons on the Internet. Two penguins sit on either side of a small boat. They are friends, but each does something selfish which c1. their friend “ship” to sink.

The cartoons have become very popular and have been viewed millions of times. And their popularity shows how much people value friendship and sometimes worry that they may lose their friends. An old saying goes that a close friend is w 2. a thousand distant relatives. It is p3. right. Even more than your family, a friend is someone you can share your happy and sad moments with. A friend is someone to talk about d4.feelings. And with a good friend you will never be a5. .

However, maintaining friendships isn’t always easy. Sometimes we may take our friends for granted and, like the two penguins, act selfishly. The key to k6.your friend “ship” from sinking comes down to three simple things: sharing, caring and communicating. Good friends like to share everything with each other. They share their snacks, they share their knowledge about schoolwork—sometimes they even share their clothes! And good friends also care about each other. They do whatever they can to make their friends happy. But the most important part of friendship is communicating.

Communicating means talking to your friends and always being honest with them. It also means that you keep in touch with your friends even though they may be in different schools or live far away. A lack of communication is the surest way to send your friend “ship” to the bottom of the sea.

Friendship makes life happier and more meaningful, but remember, “the only way to have a friend is to be o7..”
