We need your help to decide whether these

people are friends or

strangers and acquaintances.

Put your thumbs up

if it’s a friend.

Put your thumbs down if it’s a stranger or

You’ve got it! Just because you met him once through a friend, doesn’t

mean you can trust him.

Oh, look at her dog! It’s

so cute.
