A Dog's Best Friend


Suryia is one of the most intelligent animals on earth and Roscoe is man's best friend.The orangutan and the dog are one of the most famous animal couples in the world!

They met at a South Carolina animal park when Suryia was out for his daily elephant ride.Roscoe, a stray,looked very thin and seemed to be lost.He followed the others through the gate of the animal park.
As soon as Suryia saw Roscoe,they ran towards each other and hugged like long lost best friends!
And so began their amazing friendship.Now,the two friends do everything together:Roscoe helps Suryia to
swim and Suryia takes Roscoe for long walks.He even feeds Roscoe his monkey biscuits!And when they
are both feeling tired,they take the the biggest form of animal transport in the world-Bubbles the Africa
elephant!

Suryia and Roscoe now have a book about their life together.Read it-it's one of the nicest stories ever!

as a spider in his dream. Iktomi begins to spin a
web and says to him:

We begin our lives as babies,then we become children,
and then adults. Finally, we get old and we need
people to look after us, just like babies.
This is the cycle of life.

But, in each time of life, there are good forces and  bad forces.
Always listen to the good forces and follow the right path.
The bad forces can take you down the wrong path.

Use it to help people.The web can catch all your good ideas and dreams,
but all the bad thoughts go through the hole!
