Friendship: The 7 coolest tips for real best friends!

Stories from the Neflental: The 7 coolest tips for real best friends!

It's a warm, sunny day in the Neflental valley. The sunburnt meadow glistens golden in the sunlight. The wind makes the tall, yellow grass dance like waves. The sky above glows azure blue. The crickets and cicadas sing their song as summer enchants the whole valley. Rosa Periwinkle runs through the sunburn laughing. Her best friend, Lilli, runs right next to her.

Rosa Periwinkle calls: "Come with me, Lilli, I know a secret place!" The two run across the golden meadows. The air smells of ochre and olive green. Their shadows skip merrily across the soft grass. After a while, they see the marble path in front of them, a narrow path of smooth, white stone that leads into the woods.

Tip 1: Real friends show new ways

Rosa Periwinkle shows Lilli the marble path. She says: "Real friends discover secret places together." Lilli grins. She holds Rosa's hand tightly. Together they walk over the cool, shiny stone. They are excited because they don't know what awaits them there.

Tip 2: Sharing secrets is great

At the edge of the marble path, Rosa Periwinkle whispers: "Hardly anyone gets past here." Lilli promises to keep the secret to herself. They know that friends trust each other and keep secrets.

Tip 3: Experience adventures together

The path winds its way past huge fern canopies. Soon they hear the sound of rushing water. Rosa Periwinkle grins: "We'll be there soon!" Then they see the hidden waterfall. Glistening drops dance in the sun. They jump right in, laugh loudly and let the cold water splash on their heads.

Tip 4: Always be there for each other

After the bath, Lilli sits very still. She says: "I was a bit scared of the water today." Rosa Immergrün puts her arm around her: "I'll look after you! Together we can do anything." She comforts Lilli. Friends stick together, especially when someone is sad or scared.

Tip 5: Have fun and laugh

Suddenly a gust of wind whistles and blows her dry clothes into disarray. Rosa Periwinkle giggles. They run after it, laughing. They slide in the grass, land next to each other and laugh until their bellies hurt. This is how friendship is most fun.

Tip 6: Make mistakes together

While changing, they realise that Lili's scarf is floating in the waterfall. Rosa Periwinkle jumps into the water and rescues it. The two of them are soaking wet but happy. They shout: "Mistakes happen. Real friends help each other!"

Tip 7: Dreaming together

In the evening, they sit on the sunburnt meadow. The sun is colouring the grass more golden than ever before. They look up at the clouds together. They tell each other their most secret wishes. Rosa Periwinkle says: "I can dream big with you." Lilli nods. In the summer light, everything feels possible.

When real friends like Rosa Periwinkle and Lilli laugh, dream and have adventures together, every day is special. Friendship grows where trust, fun and imagination are at home.

What do we learn from this?

Friendship means going through thick and thin together, keeping secrets and being there for each other. If you have a true friend, you can do anything. Maybe you will find your own marble path in life. And when you get there, don't go alone. Take your friends with you!
