Quotes by Paulette Bourgeois (?)

“As the pile of valentines in front of him grew bigger and bigger, Franklin felt sadder and sadder. There were so many, and he had none to give in return.
He sighed as he opened Bear’s card.
“What’s wrong, Franklin?” asked Bear. “Don’t you like my card?”
“I do! But I feel bad because I don’t have one for you,” said Franklin.
“Oh that’s all right,” said Bear. “I don’t need a valentine to know you’re my friend.”
Franklin smiled.”

“Everyone gathered around as Franklin opened his other cards.
“Mine’s a turtle cut-out,” said Snail.
“Mine’s a turtle poem,” said Goose.
“And I made up a turtle riddle,” said Fox.
“These are great!” exclaimed Franklin. “I just wish I had my valentines for all of you!”
“I just wish we could start eating all these goodies,” replied Bear.
Everybody laughed.”

“As soon as Franklin got to school, he opened his package and gave everyone a card.
“What are you doing, Franklin?” asked Beaver. “Valentine’s Day was yesterday.”
“Oh, these cards aren’t for Valentine’s Day,” replied Franklin. “They’re for Friendship Day. And Friendship Day can be any day you want it to be.”
