　 It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves(树叶) dancing in the cool wind. I felt lonely and life is uninteresting. But one day, the sound of a violin came into my ears. I was so surprised that I ran out to see where it was from. A young girl, standing in the wind, was lost in playing her violin.

　　 I had never seen her before. The music was so wonderful that I forgot who I was.

　　 Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the same place and I was the only listener. It seemed that I no longer felt lonely and life became interesting. We didn’t know each other, but I thought we were already good friends.

　　 One day, when I was listening, the sound suddenly stopped. The girl came over to me.

　　 "You must like violin," she said.

　　 "Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?" I asked.

　　 Suddenly, a sad expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.

　　 "I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It is your listening every day that has encouraged me." she said.

　　 "In fact, it is your music that has given me those meaningful days." I answered. "Let us befriends."

　　 The girl smiled and I smiled.

　　 I never heard her play again in my life. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the girl. She is like a dream; so short, so bright that it makes life beautiful.

　　 There are many kinds of friends. Some are always with you, but don’t understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but are close to you. I shall always think of those golden days and the girl with the violin. She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.

Do you have many friends in this busy and noisy world? I think you can give me your answer without thinking for a minute. Friendship is so 　 31　 　that no one can live if he has no friends. One is happy to have a good friend to talk, laugh, and do some other things with. Everyone will feel 　32 if he has no friends. Maybe you will say that sometimes friends quarrel(争吵）with each other, but it doesn’t matter. That doesn’t mean they no longer 33 each other. They will make up and become 　34 again. If our friends go to another place, we will feel very sad. We 　35 them very much, but we can 　 36　 them or write to them. Maybe we will never see them 　37　 . And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out 　38 we like new friends when we get to know them. There is more good news for people who have friends.
