Author: Suman Raj Tamrakar

Illustrator: Suman Maharjan

Translator: Erica Cuellar

I have ten friends that help me get ready in the morning.

First, my friend, Toothbrush, comes to brush my teeth and keep them white.

Then comes my friend, Scissors, to cut my hair when it gets too long.

Then my friend, Soap, comes to help me take a bath and keep me clean.

Then my friend, Towel, comes to pat me dry.

Then comes my friend, Clothes, to cover my body and keep me warm.

Then my friend, Comb, comes to keep my hair in place and look nice.

Then comes my friend, Hat, to keep my head warm when it's cold outside.

Then comes my friend, Ear-bud, to help keep my ears clean and dry.

Then my friend, Nail cutter, comes to keep my fingernails nice

and short.

Finally, my friend, Shoes, come to keep my feet safe and warm.

My ten friends are always there for me when I need them.

I love them very much.
