Friendship is one of the things that is very nice,
And it also doesn’t have a price,
If you have a friend in your land,
He will definitely lend a hand,
So, everyone, make a friend,
They will be someone on whom you can depend.
Mahatma Gandhi
To the silent cries,
And let them rise,
They shall know that they are worth,
They are here on this Earth,
To create a future,
They don’t need a ruler,
They are much more than we think,
But we make them shrink!
Wonder who ‘they’ are in this poem? They are the unprivileged who are shown useless from their looks and way of living, but they are, after all, humans, suitable? They have taken birth on this Earth so they have as much right as we do. We have ignored their silent cries even knowing that they can change the world with a bit of education. We just need to trust them.

My best friends are trees. My friend the tree helps me in many things, such as giving me oxygen, food, furniture and shelters for my other friends - the animals.
One day I went on a trip with my family. As it was very sunny, I found a tree and told my father to take a rest under the tree, but suddenly I saw my animal friends! I saw monkeys and birds, so we gave them some food.
I have two more friends; they are Aryama and Aarohi. One day I went for a picnic with my friends and family, including Aryama and Aarohi. I was walking on the path, and suddenly a stone appeared, but I didn't see it, and I slipped off. Aryama turned, picked me up and then she called my mother.
Aarohi, on the other hand, had helped me when I was in school. Three years ago, I couldn't tie my shoe, so Aarohi came and said, 'let me help you, then she helped me. These two friends of mine are beautiful, strong, brave, truthful and sincere.
Friendship is lovely, so tell your friends that you are precious!
Thank you!!!
