BEST FRIEND A Best Friend is someone who is very hard to get. A best friend Is someone special and also the closest person in our lives. In my words, I consider them to be a gift from God. We ought to value them Because, in this vast world best friends are indeed rare to find. Friends support you unconditionally without expecting the yield or benefit for it. A friend always has your back. You create an understanding between you and your friend to which it concludes you to have a healthy relation between you both. Here, I conclude that not only common fellas of your age can be your friend, but also people from your family. This was to express my devotional love and gratitude towards my parents in a way through which I consider them to be my first and only precious best friends of my life. I therefore thank you God for blessing me with such dearest parents but also best friends. - KARTHIKA. R. M 10

The fellow mother took her son’s hand can beauty replace the worth of the most beautiful looking of all. Hearing the and said in a loud voice that she loves her son no mother’s love. announcement all the creatures made their way to matter his looks and considers him a precious gift -T.K. Reshvind the place where the gathering occurred. The angel from God. Hearing this the angel felt great shame on who arranged this, observed each one of them and herself for being so judgmental and call a child ugly was making a tough decision in her mind. When her for his looks. eyes came across a particular child, she called out for him and said that he was the ugliest child ever! 11
