Borrowed this book from Ira's collection, the story is about the girl who lived on the mountain top. Wherein she saw trees and rocks and sunshine... but no other children. Other children lived in the valley and far from their place... In short she had no FRIENDS. One day she heard soft whispered calling her name. She was thinking who was calling her because she knew trees and rocks cannot talk. And then the voice whispered again and said " I am the wind"... to make the story short, they become friends, they played tag. They have a lot of time to play. But there came a time Millicent was not there and the wind could not find her. Millicent and her mother went to the valley to buy their needs. Along the way, they met some children and they are yelling and teasing her because she is new to the place. Then a strange thing happened. The wind came and picked the boy who's teasing her. All the children ran away. Millicent realized that she needs a real friend and she asked the wind to bring either boy or girl who can play tag with her all day... And the wind came back and it carried a boy. They looked at each other and millicent said, " let's play."
This story really touches my heart because I believe friends are God given. Like the wind God knows our need as a human. We need real friend that we can touch, we can hear the voice... we can see... But now a days, or maybe when you became an adult, it is not easy to trust people. Things a bit complicated when you reached the age of maturity. ( hayan kasi nung bata ka pa di ba gusto mo na agad tumanda, because we thought maturity can help us to handle things properly... somehow it does).
For now, I thank God for giving me real friends, who could influence my life better. I learned how to appreciate even small things from them. Its true we cannot play tag or running game like a kid... but the joy and comfort from a friend truly create happiness.

But your smile makes it all alright.
I'm so glad that you're my friend.
I know our friendship will never end."
