Two Peas in a Pod

3 Two Peas in a Pod Patrick and Grant have been best friends since the first day of primary school. They have been inseparable ever since. Patrick's mother says that they are like “ two peas in a pod" . She tells them, “ A best friend is worth his weight in gold. " But one day, the two best friends stopped talking to each other. It didn't take long for the parents to find out that the two boys had a serious argument. As they were walking home from school the other day, they talked about their homework. Grant wanted his pal to do it for both of them. He wanted to spend more time playing basketball-one of his favourite sports. " No way! I don't think I can help you like this, " said Patrick. “ We must know what our priorities are. " “ Priorities?" asked Grant. “ That's just your excuse for refusing to help me. What a friend! " he said angrily. Patrick was hurt by his friend's comments. He said, “ You can say whatever you want, but I don't think I'm helping you by lending you my assignment. "

That afternoon, they parted and went their separate ways. In the days that followed, both of them felt bad. When Patrick's parents realized what had happened, they asked him to think how to help his best friend. Meanwhile, Grant knew that it was his fault for starting this argument. A few days later, there was a school basketball game. Patrick went to the basketball court to watch. At the end of the game, the two old friends' eyes met. Grant immediately came over and held out his hand. He tried to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat. Patrick smiled and said, “ Good friends don't have to say they are sorry. Their friends just know it. " That day, the two boys made a deal. They would work on the assignment first and play basketball after.
