How the dog and the cat became friends. Unexpected friends. The hamburger and the hotdog. Amanda theyre not just people; they can be anything. The title of our story is the clock and the virus. For an example, we have ketchup and mustard by max and max. Max and max this is ketchup and this is mustard. They start as enemies and they become friends. Once upon a time. A mother was going to eat a burger. Ketchup said, shes going to put me on it. then mustard said shes going to put me on it. they argue about whos tastier. Then the lettuce said to the meat why are they arguing . because they dont think different people should be friends. So they said, okay, well be friends. friends dont have to be alike. Different, but mostly the same. If you, like, meet somebody that you like and they like you, then you kind of Start Playing together. It doesnt matter how they look or how they talk. It just matters whats inside of them. Here are two things you wouldnt expect to be friends. Our story is about a robin and a worm and usually robins and worms wouldnt get together because robins would eat worms. One day, the robin was gliding over a garden and he spotted a Little Movement in the grass. So he swooped down, but when he swooped down, he hurt his wing. After a few minutes the worm was back. He brought a bandage to help the birds wing. So they played the whole day together and became great friends. It wouldnt happen with a robin and a worm, but it could happen with people. Boys we are friends. Girl if you want to be somebodys friend, you can be anybodys friend. Both yeah. And now. thunder crashing shutter creaking dog growling growling whimpers well where did you come from . Not exactly a night for exploring, is it .
