The Pecan Tree, A Story from Mexico
By Sydney Australia

The Pecan Tree, a story from Mexico, is about a strong friendship. Pablo and Juanita are next-door neighbors, along with being best friends. The problem is that the pecan tree between their houses got split in half in a terrible lightening storm. Pablo then felt bad for Juanita so he collected some pecans in a bucket and put them on her doorstep. But when he came back, there was a bucket filled with pecans from Juanita on his doorstep,

Juanita and Pablo did not care for themselves, but for each other. This shows that they have a strong friendship. Juanita probably knew that Pablo liked to make pecan pie with his mother. So, when the tree split, Juanita must have gathered up pecans to give to Pablo so his mother could make a pie. This shows that Juanita wanted Pablo to be happy.

As you can see, Pablo and Juanita cared about each other very much. It must have taken a lot of courage for Pablo to give away his pecans to Juanita. This story shows how friendship can become stronger through tragedies. Now tell me, would you do the same as Pablo and Juanita? To be continued . . .
