(This topic is our assignment, it is supposed to be short speech, but I ended up writing a short story as i was in the story too much.:). It is pure fictional )
This topic reminds me of the incident which happened to me while I was in 5th grade. It was just like yesterday because I still remmember the feeling exactly. I had a very good friend named John. We were always together not only in the school, but also everywhere else. We used to do everything together, we teased some girls together although he talks very less. Whenever we have any kinds of problems and have any kind of troubles, we helped each other without any hesitation. The moment the school hour was over, we rushed home and changed our clothes and meet up again in our own rendesvous as soon as possible. When people called my name, the first thing came to their mind was John and vice versa. We didn’t hang out with anyone else, we were happy just the two of us and just the way we were. At night when we were at home, i always tell my mom and dad about John, and he did the same.
One fine evening, my dad bought ‘The Hero Bicycle’, which was the dream of every boy of my age at that time. Words couldnot described how happy I was. I was overjoyed and John was so happy for me too. I hugged my dad saying thanks a hundreds of time. John and I took the bike to the street but we didn’t know how to ride at all. So we called a group of rich kids, who were older than us to teach us how to ride. Theirs was older than my bike so they were interested in teaching us how to ride. Since I was the kid with ‘new bike’, they kinda like me, but i could see that they didn’t like John so much. But since he was my good friend, they didn’t want to say anything to me directly, instead they started saying something,”How can you still hang out with him?” or, “He doesn’t have a bike, so you two are slowing us down” etc. Being a kid, I didn’t really understand their intensions, but eventually i started to ride bike without inviting John.
