The Last Gift for My Friend 

As graduation day got closer, I wanted to give something special to my best friend.
We had shared so many memories, and I didn’t want to say goodbye with empty hands.
So I decided to make her a handmade gift to show how much she meant to me.

First, I had to think about what kind of gift she would like.
I didn’t want to just buy something—I wanted to make it myself.
I decided to put together a friendship scrapbook.
I started to look through my photo album.
I picked out our best pictures.
Some photos made me laugh out loud, others made me tear up.

Next, I began to write down short notes beside the pictures.
I tried to think back to the days we laughed and cried together.
I also cut out cute stickers and hearts to decorate the pages.
Each page was filled with love and color.
I even came up with a poem just for her.

After school, I would work on the scrapbook quietly at home.
My mom helped me glue down the pictures neatly.
She told me it would be a gift my friend would hold on to forever.
Every time I added a new page, I smiled.

I also decided to make up a tiny bracelet using beads.
Each color stood for a memory.
I hoped my friend would figure out the meaning.
I even wrote it down on a little card.

The night before graduation, I wrapped up the gift carefully.
I used blue wrapping paper and tied it with yellow ribbon.
I didn’t want to let go of it, but I was excited too.
I placed it in my bag so I wouldn’t forget about it.

On graduation day, I looked for her in the crowd.
I finally saw her and walked up to her with the gift.
She was surprised and asked, “Is this for me?”
I smiled and said, “It’s our story.”
She opened it and began to look through the scrapbook.

As she read through the messages, she started to cry.
Then she hugged me tightly and said, “I love it.”
She told me she would keep it forever.
I told her, “Whenever you miss me, just look at this.”

We took a photo together, holding the scrapbook.
She promised to write back after she moved.
She said the gift helped her cheer up even though she was sad.
I felt proud that I could give back something special to her.

Later that day, I saw her showing off the gift to her parents.
She told them about each page and laughed.
Other friends also came to check it out.
Some even asked me to make one for them too!

Before we said goodbye, I gave her one last hug.
We promised to stay in touch and never grow apart.
I watched her walk away, holding the gift close.
I knew we were both crying, but also smiling.

That night, I looked back on the day and felt warm inside.
Giving that gift made me feel closer to my friend.
It was more than just paper and glue.
It was everything we had shared.

Now, whenever I miss her, I just think back to the moment she opened it.
And I smile, knowing that a piece of me will always stay with her.

해석

졸업식이 다가오자, 저는 절친에게 특별한 선물을 주고 싶었어요.

그동안 많은 추억을 함께 했고, 빈손으로 작별하고 싶지 않았어요.

그래서 그녀가 얼마나 소중한지를 보여주고 싶어 직접 선물을 만들기로 했죠.

 

먼저, 어떤 선물이 좋을지 생각했어요.

그냥 사는 아니라, 직접 만들고 싶었어요.

그래서 우정 스크랩북을 만들기로 했죠.

앨범을 훑어보며,

함께한 사진들을 골라냈어요.

어떤 사진은 크게 웃게 했고, 어떤 사진은 울컥하게 했죠.

 

그다음, 사진 옆에 짧은 글을 적기 시작했어요.

함께 울고 웃던 날들을 되돌아보며,

귀여운 스티커와 하트도 오려내어 장식했죠.

페이지마다 사랑과 색깔이 가득했어요.

직접 시도 생각해냈어요.

 

학교가 끝나면 조용히 집에서 스크랩북을 만들었어요.

엄마는 사진을 붙이는 도와주셨어요.

엄마는 이건 친구가 평생 간직할 선물이 거라고 하셨어요.

새로운 페이지를 만들 때마다 저는 미소 지었어요.

 

그리고 작은 구슬 팔찌도 직접 만들어봤어요.

색마다 하나의 추억을 나타냈어요.

그녀가 의미를 알아보길 바랐죠.

작은 카드에 의미도 적어 넣었어요.

 

졸업식 전날 , 선물을 조심스럽게 포장했어요.

파란 포장지에 노란 리본을 묶었죠.

놓기 싫었지만, 기대도 되었어요.

잊지 않도록 가방에 넣어두었어요.

 

졸업식 , 저는 인파 속에서 그녀를 찾았고,

조심스럽게 다가가서 선물을 건넸어요.

“이거 나한테?”라고 놀란 표정으로 묻자,

“이건 우리 이야기야라고 말했죠.

그녀는 스크랩북을 펼치고, 내용을 살펴보기 시작했어요.

 

글을 읽다가, 그녀는 눈물을 흘리기 시작했어요.

그리고 안고, “너무 좋아라고 했어요.

“이건 평생 간직할 거야라고 말했죠.

저는내가 보고 싶을 이걸 바라봐라고 했어요.

 

우리는 함께 사진도 찍었어요.

그녀는이사 가서도 답장할게라고 했어요.

선물 덕분에 슬퍼도 힘이 났다고 했어요.

특별한 무언가를 보답할 있어서 저도 뿌듯했어요.

 

그날 오후, 그녀는 부모님께 선물을 자랑했어요.

페이지 하나하나를 이야기하며, 웃었어요.

친구들도 와서 구경했죠.

몇몇은 저한테 자기 것도 만들어 달라고 했어요.

 

작별 인사 , 우리는 마지막으로 포옹했어요.

연락하면서, 절대 멀어지지 말자고 약속했어요.

그녀가 선물을 안고 떠나는 지켜봤죠.

서로 울면서도 웃고 있었어요.

 

그날 저는 하루를 되돌아보며 따뜻한 마음이 들었어요.

선물을 주며 친구와 가까워진 느낌이었어요.

그건 종이랑 풀이 아니라,

우리의 우정 자체였어요.

 

지금도 그녀가 그리워질 때면,

그녀가 선물을 열던 순간을 떠올려요.

그리고 웃어요. 마음의 일부가 언제나 그녀와 함께 있으니까요.
