Jill and Jenny were the best of friends. They
were together so much of the time that people
say that they are like inseparable twins. They
did everything and went everywhere together. One
day, however something happened that almost
caused their friendship to break. Jill had
already made plans with Jenny to watch a show.
At the last minute, Jill's mother had an errand
to run and someone had to look after her sister.
Jenny was disappointed but said that she would
still wait for Jill and watch the show together.
The next morning, Jill overheard Jenny telling
another friend, "it was a wonderful show. I saw
it last night and it was fabulous. "Jill got
upset. She walked past Jenny and gave her an
angry look. Jenny was puzzled. Why was Jill
angry with her ? When Jenny called out to Jill,
she ignored her. After school, Jenny waited for
Jill, as usual, for their walk home together.
However, Jill just walked on alone. Jenny ran
after her and asked, "What's the matter, Jill ?
Why are you avoiding me like this ?" Jill
answered angrily, "You broke your promise.
Friends aren't supposed to do that." Jenny
realized what the problem was and laughed. "I
went to a different show. I will never break my
promise to you. You are my best friend." Jill
apologized to Jenny and they were the best of
friends again. |
