The Key Chain

I have a little key chain. It’s oval and made by the transparent plastic. When you turn off the light, it can grow in the dark. Also, inside the key chain, there is a real baby crab which is dead. One of the interesting things is the crab had missing one leg. “Where is the leg?” I asked. I was shopping with my best friend in China and it was three days before I left my country. “This one is interesting. I am going to buy this one to you, for the gift before you leave.” He said, and paid five Chinese dollars to the cashier which equals about one U.S. dollar. Maybe you will think that is cheap, but for me, the value is more than money. On that time, we didn’t have much money to spend. After he paid for his new school and the bus tickets, those five dollars were all he had in his pocket. He is my confidant, the best friend I ever have. Even though I moved to other country, our friendships never decrease. Just like the key chain, it's getting old and has many scratches on its surface, but inside the crab still missing one leg.
