THREE SIDES TO EVERY STORY

Jane and I met on our first day Of school, Grade one, Now in 4th Grade, always had fun, Jane used to often come over to sleep, Best friends, loved each other a heap. We would stay up late, told Ghost stories, till the night was old And played with our Barbie dolls, Until it was almost light, But the next day at school, something Was not right. Once again from my lunchbox, My chocolate was gone. This happened for two weeks In a row, My mum said I should report This, to my teacher, Mrs. Bow So I did, Had no idea who would take it. Jenny and Jane, want to see you Both after school, Why would Mrs. Bow want to see us, This was not the general rule, I looked at Jane, but she looked down, She seemed upset, her face creased In a frown. So, we stayed, Jane, said Mrs, Bow, Jenny reported Her chocolate disappears every day, Is there anybody you’ve seen Acting in a strange way, Taking Jenny’s chocolate away, Every day. Jane burst into tears She was found out, she was guilty, One of her greatest fears, Well said Mrs. Bow, Jenny and Jane, I have been watching and know, That Jane stole your chocs., So off to the principal we go. Oh no, please Mrs Bow, Jane is my best friend, don’t go To the Principal, I Forgive her, Her mummy is not like mine, Just maybe giver her a few lines To write for homework. Jane hugged me and said She was sorry, I hugged her back, But was a bit sad, Jane promised me that all She would say, From that day and every day, Would be true, And so our friendship blossomed, And grew.
