Radha is a little sweet girl，who is 7 years old.Radha is a bit curious about everyone and everything she sees or hears.
One morning，she told her mother that she wanted a new friend for herself.On hearing that，her mother said，“Dear，you already have so many friends.” But Radha exclaimed，“Oh，Mum，these friends you are talking about go to their house as the sun sets.I want a friend who stays with me.”
The next morning Radha's mother got a mango (芒果) plant from the market and called Radha.Radha saw her mother within the front yard with the mango plant.She curiously asked，“Mum，what are you doing with the mango plant？” Her mother told Radha that she was making space for the new friend of Radha.Radha didn't understand what her mother wanted to say.
Observing Radha's confused expression，her mother said，“My dear，you want a friend with whom you can stay all the time，but your friends also have a mother who would worry about them.So I have brought this mango plant.”
Radha understood what her mother's point was，but she didn't understand the role of the mango plant.She questioned，“Mum，I understand but then again why do you have a mango plant？”
Her mother replied，“Dear，this plant will be always with you as your friend.He will grow up beside you.Share your thoughts and secrets with him.Water him.This friend will not only provide you with shade but will give you fruits.”
Radha happily watered the mango plant and promised to cherish (爱护) it.This was Radha's new friend...
