Introduction

This poem is about friendship.


Treat

It's my best friend's treat.

I won our bet.


I'd love the shrimp,

but I think I'll get

the pork instead--

it's half the price.


It's my best friend's treat,

but I'll treat her nice.


Extension

Have students draw pictures of their best friend and write about what they do to be nice to their friends.
