Elephant and Friends
One day an elephant wandered into a forest in search of
friends. He saw a monkey on a tree. “Will you be my friend?” asked
the elephant. Replied the monkey, “You are too big. You can not swing from
trees like me.” Next, the elephant met a rabbit. He asked him to be his
friends. But the rabbit said, “You are too big to play in my
burrow!” Then the elephant met a frog.
“Will you be my friend?
He asked.
“How can I?” asked the
frog.
“You are too big to leap
about like me.”
The elephant was upset.
He met a fox next.
“Will you be my friend?”
he asked the fox.
The fox said, “Sorry,
sir, you are too big.”
The next day, the
elephant saw all the animals in the forest running for their lives. The
elephant asked them what the matter was. The bear replied, “There is a
tiger in the forest. He’s trying to gobble us all up!” The animals all ran
away to hide. The elephant wondered what he could do to solve everyone in
the forest. Meanwhile, the tiger kept eating up whoever he could
find. The elephant walked up to the tiger and said, “Please, Mr. Tiger, do
not eat up these poor animals.”
“Mind your own
business!” growled the tiger.
The elephant has a no
choice but to give the tiger a hefty kick. The frightened tiger ran for
his life. The elephant ambled back into the forest to announce the good
news to everyone. All the animals thanked the elephant. They said,
“You are just the right size to be our friend.”
TRUE FRIENDSHIP
My name is Carla. I am seventeen
years old. My hobby is singing and I don’t have any special interest at
something. I am not good at singing but I love to do it. I always do it when I
am taking a bath. I don’t like studying and reading books. I know that’s
important to support my score at school but I have another point of view. For
me, studying is not always about reading and doing exercise. Studying is
listening to my bestfriend’s story about the subject that she has already read
about. She loves reading a lot. She provides me knowledge by listening to her
story. She packs the lessons into some interesting stories. I think she has a
talent to be a great teacher.
She doesn’t like to be exposed that
she has great talent in packing a lesson into story. I keep that secret from
the others. I am afraid if tell it to someone else, she will get angry and
doesn’t want to help me anymore. However, I ever did that. I tell it to my
teacher and my teacher said it in front of my classmates. You know what
happened? She couldn’t get angry with me. Hmm, she was angry but a little. She
didn’t want to talk to me for 5 minutes. She is very kind. That’s why she never
let me down even though I often make her angry.
My friend
that I have told above has a name. Her name is Tiara Sabarani. Like her name,
she is always patient in facing me who is very bad. I can’t imagine it if she
leaves me and goes somewhere to study. She has a dream to study abroad and she
wants to enlighthen teachers in Indonesia to be better than before. She told me
that our country needs many professional and qualified teachers to make an
advance step to compete with great countries in the world. How far she goes, I
will always support her. I believe that she won’t forget me.
Even though I am not as smart
as her, I am the one who feels responsible to protect her at school from
naughty students. One day, she was in the bathroom to change her clothes
because we’re going to have sport. She hung her uniform on the door and someone
took it without her knowing. The female student’s bathroom was not totally
covered by wall. So that someone could do that through above the door. She was
panic. She called me and immediately looked for the doers. Fortunalety, I
caught them who were trying to bury Tiara’s uniform in the backyard of the
school. They were the famous naughty students at school and had already got
punishment for many times. I can’t count it. I called my teacher silently and
when my teacher found them, they got the punishment.
For me, true friendship is a
friendship which doesn’t tie people in it by certain rules. It make us free to
be ourselves and doesn’t force us to somebody else who they like. True friend
accept who we are in real and support us to be the best version of us be good
person. People in true friendship will protect each other without blind action.
True friendship is Tiara and me.
