We stopped to choose a cake for our daughter. We’d passed several other elderly customers but our daughter Norah seemed drawn to （被吸引） a man. Her face lit up like the sun and she waved excitedly saying， “Hi， old person！ It’s my birthday today！” “Hello， little lady！ And how old are you today？” he asked. They chatted for a few seconds.

We said goodbye and carried on shopping. A few minutes later， Norah asked me， “Can I take a picture with the old man for my birthday？” I thought the old man couldn’t have gone very far. So we quickly found him. “Excuse me， sir？ She’d like to know if you’d take a photo with her for her birthday，” I asked. He looked surprised and then happy. “A photo？ With me？” he asked. “Yes！ For my birthday！” Norah cheered. And so they posed together and then they hugged each other like they were long lost friends.

We thanked Mr Dan for sparing a few minutes of his day with us. He was moved to tears and said， “No， thank you. This is the best day I’ve had in a long time. You’ve made me feel so happy and valuable， Ms Norah.”

Now， Norah and Mr Dan often visit each other. While they don’t， Norah makes sure to call him at least once a week. Norah worried about Mr Dan being alone and brought Mr Dan a dog on his 82nd birthday. Mr Dan said that his meeting with Norah helped to heal （治愈） his broken heart as he was having a difficult time before he met Norah that day.

There are many idioms （习语） or sayings in English that we use when we want to describe relationships between and among friends. Here are a few to practice with your friends.

The idiom “through thick and thin” is used to describe a friend who is loyal and supportive during bad times as well as good times. It most often describes a friendship that has been strong for a long time. Here are two examples： John and Lisa have been friends through thick and thin. My best friend and I stayed together through thick and thin.
