One of the greatest joys in this life is the joy of friendship. Sometimes our friends are the people we meet at school. Sometimes they’re people we meet doing things we love, or people we work with. Sometimes, they’re the members of our very own families. However friends come into our lives, it’s important that we do our part to maintain those friendships, and show those people that we love them. In today’s stories, we’ll see a lot of different kinds of friendships, and how the actions of the friends affect those relationships.
