What is Friendship? I want to find out the answer to the question--What is friendship? When it rains, I feel friendship is a small umbrella. It can give me a piece of clear sky. When I'm crying, I feel friendship is a white handkerchief. It can wipe the tears' stains dry. When I am sad, I feel friendship is some warm words. It can bring me happiness again. When I am in trouble, I feel friendship is a strong hand. It can help me to escape my troubles. When I sit in a quiet place, I feel friendship is a very wonderful feeling. It can't be pulled and torn, because it is in everyone's heart. It is here from the beginning to the end of our lives.
