Introduction: Everyone needs a friend who listens, helps and stands by them. For me that friend is Kabir. We have known each other since kindergarten, and today, in Class 6, we are still inseparable.
About him: Kabir is a cheerful boy with curly hair and bright eyes. He is honest, hard-working and extremely patient. He loves reading adventure stories and plays football for our school team. Whenever someone in class needs help, Kabir is the first to offer it.
What we do together: We walk to school together and sit on the same bench. On weekends we cycle to the library or practise football in the ground near our colony. Last year we made a working model of a windmill for the science exhibition and won second prize. Kabir helps me with English grammar, and I help him with Maths.
Why he is special: Once, when I lost my bag on a school trip, Kabir searched with me until we found it. He also tells me honestly when I am wrong, which helps me improve.
Conclusion: A good friend is a treasure. Kabir has taught me the value of honesty and kindness, and I hope our friendship lasts all our lives.
