My nephew's essay on friendship

Friends are those who will help you in the most difficult times;
not the ones who leave you behind. True friends always forgive, especially a friend's mistake. A real friend is not the one who helps you cheat an exam at school (who tells you the answer for a difficult exam question); neither is that one who jokes around.

Friendship is a serious thing and not something that wears off. The best gift that a friend can give you is their friendship itself.

If you wonder why it is good to have friends, here's the answer: "It is because friends are fun and are always around for the good times . "

And for those who have no friends, here goes message : you have no idea how much you are missing! Ha ha ha.
