Read the sentences from the "Ellis Island Oral History Project" excerpt.But there was one little girl that I'll never forget and when it was recess time I didn't know why everybody got up and went out of the classroom. But this one little girl came and put her arm around my shoulder, didn't say anything, she just took me outside, stayed with me during recess, and when recess was over she brought me back to my seat in school. And then, that girl, I'll never forget her. But, uh, it was very hard not knowing the language and getting started in school.

The girl stayed beside her and brought her back to her seat, showing kindness and companionship. This makes “friendship” the best choice, even though the speaker also describes the difficulty of not knowing the language.
