Once upon a time, there was a group of friends from different parts of the world - Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Swedish, and English. They all wanted to meet each other and make new friends. So they organized a big picnic in a park. The Japanese brought sushi, the Korean brought bibimbap, the Chinese brought dumplings, the Swedish brought meatballs, and the English brought sandwiches. They all sat down together and shared their food. They tried each other's dishes and they were all delicious! They all laughed and talked too much and had a great time. From that day on, they became good friends and would often meet up for picnics, trying new foods from different countries. The end.

4. How did the friends become friends?
5. What can you learn from the story about making new friends?
