Elephant and the Bird

by Gary Chin

One day a bird asked an elephant.,

"Where are your friends?"

The elephant says to the bird.,

"My friends are doing the things they have to do."

"They left you alone!?,By yourself!?, your not sad? why are you still smiling.? the bird asked.

The elephant tells the bird. 

"Because I remember...

  I remember my friends...

  I remember my true friends never actually leave me.

  They are always in my thoughts and in my heart. So when I think about my friends    

  I smile."
