Friendship Day is a great day for celebrating friendship. It falls on the first Sunday of August every year. Celebrating the festival was firstly started by the US in 1935. But now this doesn't only take place in the US. People in other countries are interested in it, too.
The idea of spending the day with friends was spread all over the world. With more
and more countries joining in the celebrations, Friendship Day soon became an
international festival.
Between 1935 and 1997, Friendship Day didn't have a symbol, like Santa Claus
for Christmas. However, in 1997, the United Nations named Winnie the Pooh as the
world's ambassador(大使) of friendship.
The traditional celebrations include activities such as meeting with friends and exchanging(交换) cards, flowers and gifts. Some people may have parties with their friends. Some may have lunch or dinner together. Others may hang out or go to the movies with friends on this special day. These are popular among all age groups from teenagers to old people.
Although Friendship Day and its celebrations may have changed over the years, the basic idea behind the festival remains(保持) the same. People enjoy the moment they spend together and express love and care for their friends.
Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse are two of the most popular cartoon characters in the world. In the short cartoons, Tom is always trying to catch Jerry, but he never makes it. Almost every cartoon ends with Tom in trouble and Jerry laughing at him. The stories are full of fun and have a long history.
William Hanna and Joseph Barbera both worked for MGM in the late 1930s. Their boss told them to make funny cartoons. Together they thought of the idea of a cat and a mouse. They thought it would be funny if the mouse was clever and always got the cat into trouble.
It was a great success that the first Tom and Jerry cartoon was shown in cinemas in 1940. Over the next 17 years, they made many Tom and Jerry cartoons. Most of them are around seven minutes long.
In total, Hanna and Barbera made 114 Tom and Jerry cartoons. The cartoons were so good that they won a number of awards(奖励). The famous cat and mouse remain popular today, as the cartoons are still shown on television around the world.
