W: Friends are an important part of our lives.
They help us in many ways. Do you tell your
friends that you are glad they are your friends?
Everyone should tell their friends that they are
special.
Did you know that there is now a special day
just for friends? This day is called National
Friendship Day. The first Sunday in August was
chosen to be National Friendship Day in 1935.
This holiday is not as big as Christmas or New
Year’s Day. However, it is still a special day.
People are usually too busy to visit their
friends often. But this day is different. On this
day, people take time to tell their friends how
much they care. They write cards or send emails
to their friends. They may also call their friends,
no matter how busy they are. People hug their
friends or spend time with them.
There are many ways to show you care. You
need not wait for a special day. Call your friends
right now!
