　　It was a freezing day before Christmas Eve．At about four o'clock in the afternoon，Mrs．Jackson was enjoying some Christmas music when someone knocked at the door．She heard it but didn't move．Another knock．Who might it be？Mrs．Jackson was a little afraid．She determined not to answer the door but keep waiting．Then nothing strange happened and no more knocks．She waited a few minutes．She walked quietly to the door，and listened．She heard nothing but the wind outside．She slowly unfastened the door and looked outside through the crack．She then let out a cry and threw the door wide open!She could hardly believe her eyes．At the door she saw a tall，beautiful Christmas tree!In the tree was a Christmas card with the following words：

4．There are many things you can do to keep friendship strong forever．
Trust is very important in keeping any relationship strong and long lasting．If you trust the person whom you have a good relationship with and he or she also trust you in the same way，then you two have a good relationship．
You can remember important date of your friends such as their birthdays．Wish your friends or give gifts to them on these special days．Many people say that money is the most important thing to consider，but remember friendship is not about money．You can find something small and inexpensive for their gifts or send online cards．
Help the friends．A friend should also always help others even when it is not very convenient．So have a helping hand ready at all times．
Sometimes distance makes relationships even closer．So，if you are far from your friends，there are many ways you can remain in contact（联系）．You can use such modern technology as email，chat programs，and you can also write a blog and share your daily life activities with your distant friends．
    If there is anything that makes you happy，share it with your friends．Listen to their thoughts as well．If they have achieved something noticeable，congratulate them and celebrate with them．
I have seen good friendships and when there is unhealthy competition between two friends．Though this may not happen very often，it is better to keep this idea in mind since it may happen to you．
As far as I have seen and experienced，it will be better not to either lend to or borrow money from your good friend．Of course，we have to do this with friends．But，attention should be paid．Otherwise it may end the friendship．
