Jenna's Problem

Cindy and her family have a home. Cindy's best friend Jenna has a house. They both have a mom, dad and little sister. Cindy and her little sister have their own room. Jenna and her little sister share a room. Cindy and her family have beds. Jenna and her sister share a mat to sleep on. Jenna's parents also share a mat to sleep on. One day Cindy and Jenna were at school. Then Jenna asked Cindy if she wanted to have a playdate after school tomorrow. Cindy said “I will ask my mom.” Cindy mom said “yes.” So after school Cindy went to Jenna's house for a playdate. Jenna told cindy that she walks home. So they walked to Jenna's house together. After walking for ten minutes, they were there. Cindy looked at Jenna's house. It was old and damaged. There was a small hole with a piece of wood covering it. Then Cindy and Jenna walked through the door. Cindy looked around the house it was old it looked like there wasn’t much furniture. Jenna asked Cindy if she wanted to go to her room. Cindy said “okay”. Cindy started to take off her shoes. Jenna said “don’t take off your shoes. Cindy saw that Jenna and her sister share a mat to sleep on. Then Cindy had a idea. She was going to be friends with Jenna forever regardless of the way her home looked. Cindy went home and told her family about Jenna and they bought Jenna and her family a meal twice a week and Jenna helped Cindy though her hard times too. This is what home means to me safe,comfortable,loved and happy. The end
