Em wanpela, na em i stap wan pis.  \nOne day Maria decided to look for a friend.  \nMaria em i stap wan pis, na em i tingting long painim wanpela poro.  \nMaria walked through the jungle. She looked under the bushes. She looked behind the trees. But she could not find a friend.  \nLong wanpela moning Maria i kirap na raun long bus long painim poro. Tasol em i no painim.  \nMaria climbed a tall mountain. There she found Peter the Pig. Maria asked Peter, \"Will you be my friend?\"Peter was cross.  \nHe loudly grunted, \"No!\" Maria was sad and ashamed.  \nMaria i lusim bus na kamap long wanpela maunten. Em ilukim Pita, wanpela pik. Maria i askim, “Yu kamap porobilong mi?”  \nPita i kros, na em i tok,“Nogat!” Na Maria i sem.  \nMaria walked down to the ocean. There she saw Tom the Turtle. Maria asked Tom, \"Will you be my friend?\"But Tom was so frightened of Maria, that he jumped into the waves and swam away.  \nMaria i lusim maunten na kamap long nambis. Em i lukim Tom, wanpela trausel. Maria i askim, “Yu inap kamap porobilong mi?”  \nTom em i poret nogut tru, na em i haitim pes bilong em.  \nMaria climbed the kunai hills. There she saw Michael the Bandicoot. Maria asked Michael, \"Will you be my friend?\" Michael answered, \"I am very small and not at all like you,\" and he quickly hopped away.  \nMaria i lusim nambis, na kamap long ples kunai.  \nEm i lukim Michael, wanpela mumut. Maria i askim, “Yu inapkamap poro bilong mi?”  \nMichael i tok,“Mi liklik man tumas, na mi no wankain olsem yu.”  \nMaria was sad. She walked back to the big jungle. She cried as she walked. Suddenly she heard a grunt from behind a big tree!  \nMaria i wari nogut tru, na em i go bek long bikpela bus. Em i krai na wokabaut. Bihain em i harim singaut long wanpelasait long bikpela diwai.  \nOut from behind the tree came Mark, a male cassowary. He was smaller than Maria, and he was also by himself. Mark made a low booming rumble in his body and asked, \"Do you want to be my friend?\"  \nWanpela muruk man, nem bilong em Mak, em tu em i stap wanpis. Em i singaut na Maria i kam lukim em.
