This is a true and exciting story about two children, two countries and one friendship. "Zhao Yang was born in a great and mysterious country – China. He lived there with his family, in all kinds of weather. Shahar was born in a small and unique country – Israel. He traveled to China with his parents to study, tour and enjoy. One day, they encountered each other on a street in China. Both were licking sweet, pink ice cream. They looked at each other silently and curiously, for not only did they not know each other, but they could see that they really did not look alike – they were so very different.

I can choose to do my homework if and when I please, I can choose to give even if I don't always receive..."
