Today I realised how lucky I am to have friends.
My friends are the best in the world,
almost like family.
At school they take me to the infirmary
if I'm sick or help me with my school work.
We sit around and talk.
Normally it's about boys
or the latest magazine and all the great things inside.
But most of all we tell jokes. We love jokes.
We all love dancing and acting
even though we make it up it's more fun.
We always have wanted to be on TV.
We are the funniest bunch.
But the main thing is we are all friends.

Letter of the day. ( to a newspaper ):
My daughter has a problem with one of her twins.
They're 18 months old, and the girl has started pushing
and pinching her brother.
It started two months ago and my daughter doesn't know
the best way to handle the problem.
She's tried telling her off and keeping her away from her brother,
but it's almost impossible to separate them.
I'm afraid she will hurt her brother badly one day.
Do you have you any ideas?
What can she do?
I can't stand seing a child so naughty.

The cuckoo bird is an unusual bird.
It doesn't make its own nest.
Instead, a female cuckoo will lay an egg,
in a nest already filled with other eggs.
It normally lays only one egg.
This egg hatches very quickly,
and when the nestling comes out,
it pushes the other eggs out of the nest.
If there are other baby birds in the nest,
the cuckoo pushes them out too.
The mother and father bird still feed the bird well,
especially since the baby bird makes so much noise.
It often grows to be much bigger than the mother and father.

Letter to a newspaper.
I'm a woman of 47.
I had been on the waiting list for 10 months
to have an operation but was turned down,
because the doctor listened to my chest in hospital.
He found I had a heart murmur.
I was so upset and disappointed.
All that time wasted.
You'd have thought someone would have examined me earlier.
Now I haven't had this operation
and I'm worried about my heart.
I don't know how long I'll have to wait:
Am I in any danger?

Police smash £1million travel scam.
Fraud squad detectives have busted a London-based travel scam
which netted almost £1 million after offering people the chance to fly abroad for just £35.
Up to 10,000 people from across the South were duped by London firm Voyage Direct.
Advertisements in local newspapers and on the Internet
explained that by registering as a courier for a £35 fee,
people would be sent to a destination of their choice
as long as they took with them a courier package left at the airport checkout.
But these flights were non-existent and there was no package.
There was no way to contact the firm.
The phone was not answered and the address in Kensington High Street, was a postal one.
An investigation has been launched after complaints to the police,
but the company has made at least £850,000.
No arrests have yet been made.
No one at Voyage Direct was available for comment.
The telephone is either constantly engaged or rings without answer.

A quarter of Britain's office workers admit pilfering stationery from their workplace.
So a survey reports today.
It is not only office juniors who steal the odd pen,
envelope or roll of tape.
Senior management is often just as guilty.
Pens are by far the most popular item to go walking.
Eighty-six percent of office staff questioned had noticed pens disappearing.
Other missing stationery items included: envelopes (18 percent);
notepads (18 percent); pencils (14 percent).
Calculators and computer disks also travelled home,
and one employee even stole a desk from his office one weekend.
Several companies believe management to be among the worst offenders.
Some executives have home offices,
which they choose to kit out using office stock.
