We learn sometimes losing a game is not a bad thing. We need to make it fair to friends. We can not just always win, or else others would not play with us.

Some people who have the same personalities or humor will be very good friends. Good friends always like the same thing and the same food.

Why does the author indirectly describe the time or season instead of telling us directly? The author wants the reader to guess. And the detailed descriptions make the sentences longer. Longer sentences are more beautiful. In this story, the author wrote summer’s afternoons are longer and warmer to describe summer. The author wrote the leaves turned red and gold to describe autonome. It is good to write a sentence like this, because the sentence would be more beautiful. Writing longer and beautiful sentences will attract the reader’s attention and make the reader like the article.

In conclusion, in the story of Farfallina And Marcel, we should be nice and kind to others so others would think that we are good friends and would be friends with you. How you treated others, others would treat you the same thing. Just like in the story of Farfallina and Marcel, Farfallina is being very nice to Marcel so he is being very nice to Farfallina also. So we should be nice to everyone. That makes you very happy and lets others think that you are a nice person.
