Pip’s answer
- We have friends because sharing fun and feelings with others makes us happy.

For grown-ups
Humans are social, and friendships give us support, fun and a sense of belonging. Friends help children practice sharing, kindness and solving problems. Many animals, including elephants, dolphins and primates, also form long-lasting bonds.
