The beginning:
“My parents are going to Venice on Saturday, and I was wondering if you wanted to come with us,” Adriana whispered to Sandra that sunny, warm morning. They were in their classroom, sitting side by side, doing the first lesson of the day. Sandra smiled happily at her new friend. As the new girl in school, she was excited that her classmates – some of them, at least – seemed interested in making her feel welcome.
The end:
“Adriana and Cristina, do you think that you could both be friends with Sandra?” asked Mr Johnson in a low voice. Sandra was the quickest in answering that – “I really want to be. Can I be a friend to both of you?” The three girls hugged tightly after both Adriana and Cristina shouted “Yes!” Mr Johnson felt relieved and proud that the girls could learn an important lesson: a person can have more than one good friend in life.
