    Answers:
    1)They respect each other and care for each other.
    2) The different type of animals/friends and the moral of the story,"And from that day to this, cats have always chased after mice".
    3) I would be a generous and loyal friend and I would not leave my friends when he/she is in trouble as that is being rude.
    4) No, as I do not think animals can talk. And I don't believe that a Cat and Mouse are friends instead of the Cat chasing the Mouse.
    5) I would end the story as everyone apologising to each other and the Cat changes it's mind to forgive the Mouse.

      Well done, Harish! You are the first one to post your comments here.

      Thank you for sharing your opinion about friendship - I agree with you that we should not not leave our friends when they are in trouble or need our assistance. As true friends, stick together irregardless of situation :)

      Hi Rilakkuma Dawn :) Just kidding!
      Perhaps you would like to introduce yourself since you are using your parent's account to post your responses.

      You are very realistic. I agree with you that it could not a real story because in reality, animals could not speak like us except for parrots!

      I like happy ending too :)

    2) What do you think makes it a good/ interesting story?
    3) What type of friend would you be? Would you leave your friends when he/she is in trouble?
    4) Do you think this is a true story? Why/ why not?
    5) How would you end the story of The Four Friends?

    Answers
    1) I like the part when the mouse ran out of the dog's ear.
    2) About how close the friends are and the part when there was a hole in the dugout canoe makes it an interesting story.
    3) I would be a cooperative and helpful friend. Well, I have to see whether my friends are asking me to do the right thing or the bad thing. If they are asking me to help them in a positive situation, I will help them.
    4) I think it is a fake story as in imaginary as cats, dogs, crabs and mice cant talk or should I say communicate with each other.
    5) I will make the ending happy, as in the cat will forgive the mouse and the mouse turned over a new leaf.

      Glad to know that you check your responses and corrected them. Perhaps Ryan would like to do likewise as he has some typo errors in his post. Could someone help Ryan to spot those errors?

      I am glad that you pointed out that you have to assess if your friends are asking you to do the right or the bad thing as it is important to be able to differentiate what is good for us and what is not as we would not want to do something that would harm ourselves or other s just because we want to please our friends.

    5) How would you end the story of The Four Friends?
    Answer
    1)i like the part where the mouse nibble the boat's bottom.
    2)I think the part"From that day onwards when the cat sees the mouse it would chase the mouse.
    3)I would be a caring friend as if I was the one who was left alone in the sea I would be angry and sad that my friend did not care about me so i think i should care for people around me like my friends.
    4)I think the story is not true as no one can prove it.I also think how could a cat,dog,crab and dog be paddling in the sea.
    5)I would stop them to not fight as i think fighting achiever nothing but injuries so when i see them fight,i would stop them.

      I like your comments where you mentioned that we should care for our friends so that they will take care of us... It reminds me of these words of wisdom - Kindness begets kindness

      If you would be able to stop the fight, what character would you be?

    Answers:
    1)I like the way it is being written.It is extremely easy to understand.
    2)I think it is the way it is being illustrated.
    3)I would be a caring friend and no,I would not leave my friend if he/she is in trouble.
    4)I do not think this is a true story.How could four friends live on an island with no food and water to eat and drink,and they would've got a heat stroke because of the sun.
    5)I would end the story like this:The mouse eventually stopped running and the cat ate him up. The cat found him tasty and turned onto cannibalism and ate the remaining two "friends".After the cat ate the two friends,he started to become hungry again and slowly and painfully, he ate himself.

      Good point, Ethan! I agree with you that the four friends would not be able to survive if they were to live on the island with no water and food.

      However, what a sadistic ending. Perhaps you would like to consider changing the ending to something more realistic or pleasant :)

    5) How would you end the story of The Four Friends?
    Answer :
    1)The author is very creative .
    2)It is very hiliarous , easy to understand and is very nice.
    3)I would be a caring , helpful , polite and conciderate.I would not leave my friend if he/her is in trouble.
    4)I do not think this is a real story . How can a mouse , a cat , a crab and a dog talk? How can a dog and a cat , a cat and a mouse get along ? How can they survive without water and food ?
    5) I would end the story like this : The cat enemtually caught the mouse and gobbled him down in one gulp , but after some time , he found that he was lost .After a while , the two friends split up and started searching for their lost friend but they got lost and they were stranded on that island.

      Ryan, I am sure you are a caring friend who shows concern for his fellow classmates and buddies. As for the ending, would the cat and mouse be good friends eventually as they were both stranded in the island?

    Thanks for the comments MDM SUZANAH
    MY CORRECTIONS:
    5)While the cat chased the mouse,the remaining two friends started looking for food.Eventually,they found a coconut tree and waited for a VERY long time.A coconut dropped eventually,but the two friends had no strength left ,slowly they ripped open the thick covering of the coconut.The cat was still chasing the mouse around until the mouse slipped and fell into the sea.Water entered its lungs and soon there was nothing...

    Answer

    1) The fact the cat always chases the mouse.
    2) The patience of the dog and crab.
    3) Never, because because i am responsible and
    leaving is very cruel.
    4) No, because it is just based on something real,
    it may be just a fake story to explain why cats chases mice.
    5) The mouse apologising to them all and them being friends again.

    3)A caring friend, no i would not leave the friend alone
    4)No the story is not true, because cats does not swim and the dog's ear is not so big that the mice can go in it
    5)The mice must say sorry to all of them and be friend again
