A SAD STORY ABOUT LIVE

I am a 15 years old girl. My name is Sandra. I live at Linggapura. I want to tell my

story of live. It is a sad story but I hope it will be a valuable story for you.

Six months ago I was a rich girl with a happy family. My father worked as a manager
in a big company. I had everything I want like: hand phone, many good and expensive
clothes, bag, electronic devices, a nice motorbike. I also had many friends.

Now, I’ve lost everything, even my friends. My father was fired from his office. His
company went bankrupt and closed. From now on, we have to live carefully. My father has
to sell our property before he can find a new job. Unfortunately, he can’t get one up until
now.

Something that made me feel worse was my friends. They used to come and play with
me, they used to ride my motorbike, played my CD’s in my room, even used my handphone.
But now, when my family becomes poor, no ones come to me, they may have forgotten me.

That is my story. Now, I know the meaning of a good friendship that a true friend is
not only with us when we are happy but also in poor. From now, I promise to always find a
true friends who always with me even when I am poor.
