MY FRIENDS

This story is about my childhood. When I was 10 years old, I lived in Nagoya. I enjoyed my school life. My friends were good guys, teachers were very friendly, and our town was enjoyable. One day, my father said to us, ”Everyone, listen to me. Next month, we will go to Fukuoka.” I replied, “A trip there? That sounds good!” Then, my father laughed feebly and said to me, “Well...We will go there, and never return.” We would move to Fukuoka! I was so surprised and sad. The next day, I told my friends about my move. They were also surprised and worried about me. We were silent for a while, and then, one of my friends said,"Now, our class starts.” After that, I went to school, studied, played and talked with my friends, as usual. We didn’t talk about my move since that time. I enjoyed my school life, but felt a little anxious.  The day before my move, in our HR, our teacher said to us, “Let’s go to a gym.”  We went to a gym and I looked at one point. There was a message, “Thank You Sho! We Are Friends Forever!”  I was surprised, happy, and cried. My friend spoke to me,”Sho, you leave to Fukuoka tomorrow. There may be no person you know, but, don’t worry. You can make friends easily. And you are not alone as long as you can remember us!”  I could not stop crying. I said, “Thank you, my friends!”

What is your treasure? Toys, gold, pets, or albums? I think my treasure is my friends! I feel that friends are great and important. I never forget them forever.
