Friends are important in our lives. Let me share my story with you.
I was born in a small village. My family was very poor, so my parents had to go out for a living. I lived with my grandparents when I was a baby. I was quiet. I had only a few friends. Maggie was my best friend. We became friends when we were 6 years old. She was brave and outgoing. When I was in trouble , she tried her best to help me. Once I was uncomfortable and asked for a leave in P. E. class. After class, one of my classmates lost a watch. I was the only person in the classroom at that time, so she shouted at me and asked me to return the watch to her. All the other classmates shouted at me together, too. But I didn't take the watch. I was very scared and began to cry. I couldn't say anything. At this time, Maggie appeared. She said that I could not be the thief because I was always an honest and nice girl. And she ran around the school. Finally , she found the watch in the toilet. The girl who lost the watch said sorry to me. I am so lucky to have such a good friend.
We studied hard together and helped each other. Later, we both entered a good university. Now, we are 24 years old. We both live and work in Shanghai. She is not only my best friend but also my family.
