What are true friends?
Friendship is a true thing, but not every friend is true, and how do you know which is true, which is fake? You could look at your friend and real friends usually say “Hi” or “Hello”. If they don’t say these words, that means they are not real friends.
If they said, “We are best friends forever!” You surely don’t know the truth. You could try and look at her/him and see if she/he smiles.
However, if friends burst into tears, what shall you do?
You should make her/him happy, and try to make him/her think you are a true friend.
But some friends not only have you to be his/her friend. So, if another friend of him/her comes and make your friend happy, try not to think that she/he isn’t your friend, try to help another friend to make them happy.
Fake friends don’t play with you, but true friends think about how much they respect you. You should respect them to make them feel you are real friend. Don’t try to lose friends and especially true ones.
Treasure the chance getting so many friends, think about other people, think of the ones having few or no friends.
If you see your friend at a place, say “Hi”or “Hello”, but if you see your friend at the cars and see that your friend is looking at his/her dad or mom’s phone, ask her don’t do this. However, do it after the bus/car ride, but you have to be clear that he/she is a real friend. Otherwise, if you don’t know he/she is real or fake friend, then don’t say anything.
Don’t guess by looking at them, use ideas (behavior) to know them. If you guess, I’m not sure you’re right, because you are not an angel. You are just a dog/human, try making friends by looking back at times they argue. Trust friends that love is real, because trusting friends make you find that it’s really true.
If you forget, try to remember. Otherwise, do it again. However, if you don’t want to, I can’t help you.
Editor’s comment:
This is Emily’s philosophy about friendship, how to tell if a friend is true or fake, and we should treasure our friendship.
The Lovely Queen and the Lovely Golden Bird
One day, a lovely Queen woke up and saw a beautiful Golden Bird at her window. She thought it was cute so she picked the Golden Bird up and gave her food everyday.
As she came to the palace, she said, “No body can take away this beautiful Golden Bird.” But the thief wanted to steal the magic Golden Bird.
So the thief got some poison and he made it into some medicine. He turned himself into an ugly old witch. The poison could get the Queen to sleep forever.
However, the King learnt this and told the Queen that a thief was making a poison. He asked the Queen to stay at home.
The king had a plan:
“When the thief was in the palace, he will ask me where is the Queen. I will say I don’t know. Then he will come to your house, and you must pretend to sleep.”
The palace was close to the Queen’s house. However, finally the Queen was captured by the thief. The Golden Bird followed, and was staying there to sing her magic song everyday.
The Queen loved the Golden Bird so much, she said, “I will never let you fly away.”
One day, the Queen wanted to have a ride to escape, so the Golden Bird gave the Queen a ride. The Golden Bird flew a long time and they escaped successfully.
The Golden Bird was happy to stay with such a lovely Queen, so she was always with the Queen.
Editor’s comments:
Unlike the classic story of Nightingale, the Golden Bird and the Queen stays together forever and they both enjoy each other’s company. It is very creative. The bird is so big that it can even carry the Queen to fly away!
Crazy Things
“Hello Grandpa, why do you come today? Can we play toys?” asked Emily.
“No! I want to play crazy things. What is silly and has a tongue?” asked Grandpa.
“I know, sad face!” replied Emily.
“No! A human take her tongue out”, said Grandpa.
“Tell me another please, Grandpa!” begged Emily.
“OK! Now what is the second word come after crazy?” asked Grandpa.
“I don’t know”, said Emily.
“Things!” replied Grandpa.
“Boring Question!” said Emily.
Grandpa left.
Several minutes later … The door was opened again.
“Hey! Why do you come back?” asked Emily.
“Hey! My daughter, Grandpa hasn’t come back, and it is time to drink your milk and do your homework!” said Mum.
Editor’s comments:
This book is a continuation of last book “Flying Things & Crazy Things”. Emily just enjoyed making silly riddles, but the character has changed from Grandma to Grandpa. Emily’s grandparents come to visit us frequently. Therefore, Emily has put Grandma and Grandpa to be the main characters of her books.

Flying Things & Crazy Things
“Hello Gran! Why do you come today?”, asked Emily.
“Because I come to tell you crazy things and flying things”, said Gran.
“Can we play memory card?”, asked Emily.
“No. I came to play with you,” said Gran.
“Play what?” asked Emily.
“I came to play flying things and crazy things now!” said Gran.
“What things can fly and have four legs….hm….. answers? OK. The answer is Two birds!” said Gran.

“What machine do crocodiles make?…hm…”asked Gran.
“Gran tell me the answer, please!” said Emily.
“Crocodile Machine”, said Gran.
“What does it mean?” asked Emily.
“It means a rolling crocodile machine toy!” said Gran.
Boring question...

This book was stimulated by the Oxford Reading Books. Inside the book series, Gran is a very funny grandmum with crazy ideas and behavior. The first riddle from this book actually came from the Oxford storybook. The second riddle was made up by Emily. During that time, she loved to make up riddles and asked the family to guess the answer during dinner time.

Daily Life (2013 July)
Book about Jasminie
published on 2013.July.7
By Jasmine when she was 1 year old
A good sunny day people on Earth were all animals. All of them circled around a little dog, Jasmine.
At lunch time, Priscilla and some girls at the dinner table said “You look like a peanut!” This make Jasmine unhappy.
They put Jasmine in prison. All of them shouted, “Put her in Prison!” The animals shouted.
So Gigi helped Emily put Jasmine in prison. “No! I am good!”, shouted Jasmine, but they could not hear her.
During the sad years of Jasmine, she said, “One day I would die…One day soon…”
Jasmine was right, she died one day. However, she did not go to Heaven. She was an angel!
She went back to human world. Everyone did not recognize her, but she recognized them.
Back at Angel Land, Jasmine spoke to the angels and told him why she was there.
Jasmine was not living in human land. Now, she lived in Angel World!
Now you know why there was a book named Daily Life.
This book is written by Jasmine.

This is the first DIY book by Emily, when she 4.5 years old only. I spotted quite a number of spelling and grammatical mistakes and helped to correct them. Very simple story. One main gist is sometimes in daily life, good people may be treated badly due to discrimination or bully by others. For example, inside the story, Jasmine was sent to prison because she looked like a peanut! Interesting story from the eyes of a 4.5 years old girl. Emily pretended herself is Jasmine at one year old to write this book, so that is why the author is Jasmine instead of Emily. Later I interviewed Emily, she said this story book was inspired by her experience of being bullied.
