Two years ago, when I went back to my hometown to visit my uncle's house, I met a neighbor. Her name was Ngọc Ngà. Ngà was the same age as me but looked much younger. That day, Ngà saw the doll I was carrying and expressed a desire to play with it. Because I saw how much she liked it, I gave the doll to her. After I returned to the city, we lost contact. Last week, I went back to my uncle's house to visit again. Ngà and I met again. She was very surprised and happy to see me. Ngà hugged me tightly and said:
- It's been ages since I last saw you. That time you rushed off so quickly, I didn't get a chance to give you anything. Wait here for me a moment, won't you?
Ngà ran up to the house and then brought down a handmade plush toy, handing it to me and saying:
- I crocheted this teddy bear myself. Here you go.
I was deeply touched when receiving the gift. This will be a memory that I will always cherish.

Huy and I have been friends since childhood. We've shared countless beautiful memories together. However, the one that stands out the most is when I visited Huy's house one day. At that time, his family had just adopted a dog. It felt strange to me because we didn't have pets at home. Initially, I was a bit scared that the dog might bite and thought about leaving. But Huy insisted on pulling me in. He assured me that the dog was very well-behaved and would never bite. The dog approached me and opened its mouth. I screamed in fear and jumped into Huy's arms. However, the dog only wanted to sniff me. We both burst out laughing and played with our new furry friend.

On Christmas Day last year, we exchanged gifts with each other. The gift I received was a hair tie. It was very pretty, but being a boy, I couldn't use it. At first, no one was willing to exchange with me because most of the boys didn't like hair ties. Later on, Khánh approached me and suggested exchanging gifts. They said:
- Do you want to exchange gifts? I'll swap this robot for the hair tie. I want to give the hair tie to my sister.
I was very happy and touched by Khánh's gesture. From then on, Khánh and I became close friends.
