But
everything changed on National Friendship Day. On that day, at school,everyone was having a
great time, drawing, painting, giving gifts. That day in
class everyone had to make three presents to give to their three best
friends. Fiona enjoyed the task of choosing three from amongst all the dozens
of her friends.
However, when all the presents had been made and shared out among
classmates, Fiona
was the only one who had not received a present! She felt terrible, and spent
hours crying. How could it be possible? So much effort to make so many
friends, and in the end no one saw her as their best friend? Everyone came
and tried to console her for a while.But each one only stayed for a short time before
leaving.

This was
exactly what Fiona had done so many times to others.
She realized that she was a good companion and acquaintance, but she had not been a true friend to anyone. She had tried not to argue with anyone, she had tried to pay attention to everyone, but now she had found out that that was not enough to create true friendship.
When she
got home that night , created quite a puddle with her tears, and Fiona asked her
mother where she could find true friends.
"Fiona, my dear," answered her mother, "you cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you really want true friends, you will have to give them real time and affection. For a true friend you must always be available, in good times and bad"
"But
I want to be everybody's friend! I need to share my time among
everyone!", Fiona protested.
"My
dear, you're a lovely girl," said her mother, "but you can't be a close friend to everybody.
There just isn't enough time to be available for everyone, so it's only
possible to have a few true friends. The others will by playmates or
acquaintances, but they won't be close friends".
Hearing
this, Fiona decided to
change her ways so that she could finally have some true friends.
That night, in bed, she thought about what she could do to get them.
She thought about her mother. Her mother was always willing to help her, she put up with all of Fiona's dislikes and problems, she always forgave her, she loved her a great deal... That was what makes friends!
And Fiona smiled from ear to ear, realizing that she already had the
best friend anyone could ever want.
