Dear Arizona,
   At the beginning of the year, my class got a goldfish named Shine, and we made him our class mascot. The terrible thing is that Shine died two weeks ago. We’re all sad. Do you have any suggestions for what we could do to feel better?

Dear Missing,
   I am so sorry to hear about your goldfish. Of course you’re sad. Your letter makes me think of the time I had to say good-bye to an old friend.
