Friendly Story

Item #5182

(February, 1992) Friendly is using the American Sign Language to convey his message. On my statue “We’re Hear For You,” Wanda is teaching the first gesture in the sign for “Friend” by hooking her right index finger over her left. Now Friendly is showing us the second part of this sign, where the hands are quickly reversed so that the left index finger is on top. See how easy it is to “make” friends! If Pumpkin and Hopkins ate at the pumpkin patch for the day, Friendly will keep you company. That’s what friends are for. His coin is from the United Kingdom and shows a chain of linked hands. As Friendly knows, friends are what link the world together.
