The 3 Amigos

• A Fictional Story
• By
• Taylor Cooper

2

• Beth, Janie, and Julie attend the same school.
  The three girls have been friends since 1st grade
  and now they are 11years old and in the 5th
  grade. While the girls had other friends at
  school, they were the closest to each other. Beth
  and Janie were cheerleaders and Julie played
  basketball.

3

• They referred to themselves lovingly as The 3
  Amigos. Everything in their friendship world was
  great until one day on the playground, Janie came
  behind Beth and Julie to overhear Beth say,
  Shes so rude and acts like a spoiled brat
  sometimes.

4

• When Janie poked Beths shoulder, she said, Who
  are you talking about?

5

• All of a sudden Beth got a really embarrassed
  look on her face and replied, Oh no one, no one
  really.

6

• Janie started to feel really bad. She just knew
  her best friend Beth had talked badly about her.
  Janie felt crushed inside. She didnt know what
  to do or who to talk to. Janie quietly made an
  excuse to go into the building. She didnt talk
  to Beth or Julie the rest of the day. All she
  could do was wonder why her best friends would
  hurt her like that.

7

• Janie went home that night and told her Mother
  and cried. Her mom was sympathetic and tried to
  help. The next day, Janie ignored her friends
  because she didnt want to be hurt anymore. That
  evening, Janie was in tears when the doorbell
  rang.

8

• To her surprise, Beth and Julie were on her
  doorstep. After the girls talked, Julie and Beth
  learned why Janie had ignored them. Beth and
  Julie explained the BIG misunderstanding. On the
  playground that day, Janie overheard Beths
  frustration toward her little sister Cami. Beth
  was embarrassed that she had griped about Cami in
  that way.

9

• The three girls learned a lesson. Beth learned
  not to talk bad about other people. Janie learned
  to make sure of things before she got emotional.
  Julie learned to try to solve problems sooner.

• They were best friends again and they still
  called themselves The 3 Amigos.
