My Friend Ryan

My friend Ryan is my pal. When he's out I always play with him. Today he is coming over for four days while his mom and dad are in Canada. We will have lots of fun. He likes animals a lot so I show him my animal posters and he says , "Cat, yaa? Cat, yaa?" and I'll says, "Yeh, Ryan, that's a cat alright. What's this one?"

One day I though I'd see if he could pick me out on my school picture. He looked and look at all the faces. He looked so hard, and after a few minutes he pointed to me on the picture and said, "This you, yaa? This you, yaa?" I said, "You're right, Ryan, this is me." I was so proud of my little friend I picked him up. WOW! "Ryan, you are so-o-o-o heavy!"

Ryan is two years old and he is so cute. I think if I could I would steal him for my brother. We went fishing and he kept catching a little baby trout but it would get loose again and again. Finally he gave up.

A few days after that his mom and dad came back. I was sad but his dad said he could stay over night sometimes. So now I am happy.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
