Friendship
John liked to play with his friends. One day, they decided to play hide-and-go seek in the park. The friends soon got tired, and they all went to sit under a nice mango tree. All of a sudden, a large mango fell from the tree. John got it and was ready to eat it when his friends got upset. His friends told him that since they all played together, they should share the mango. John apologized and the friends shared the mango happily. A monkey in the mango tree was watching this, and was so happy the friends were sharing that he dropped seven more mangoes from the tree. The friends thanked the monkey and took the mangoes home to share with their siblings.
