Generally in a science classroom, we talk about Solids, Liquids, and Gases. Gas is well separated with no regular arrangement. Liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. Solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.

A solid has a definite volume and shape, a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape, and gas has neither a definite volume nor shape.

Then why we are talking about these here? YES, what you heard is right. There is a slight link between these two. Here and there.

 Frankie – the fart and the gas

You know what is a gas.

Let us know who is Frankie?

Frankie is a fart.

Flatus is generated by swallowed air, digestion, high-fiber foods and the by-products of intestinal bacteria. Some digestive system disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, can produce excess gas.

 Yes, farting is healthy. It's natural for extra air to end up in the digestive system, either from swallowing air or gas created during digestion. Farting is a normal way to get rid of the extra gas. It is normal to fart up to 25 times per day.

Now you are clear about Frankie.

Frankie is in dire need of a friend. Who doesn’t need a friend?

While might feel like you don't need friends to be happy, it is important to have people you can trust and can turn to when you need support. People are social creatures and tend to thrive when they have high-quality connections with other people.

Friends can help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad times. Friends prevent isolation and loneliness and give you a chance to offer needed companionship, too. Friends can also: Increase your sense of belonging and purpose.

The colourful illustration by David Kantrowitz supports well and matches the flow of the story. These eye-catching illustrations add more depth to the search of Frankie for a friend.

Frankie who wants to make friends meets people, spends time with them, and follows up—whatever it takes to stay connected. Despite all these will Frankie be able to make friends? Why a few don’t like Frankie? Why they don’t accept Frankie as a friend?

When you accept people for who they are, you let go of your desire to change them. You let them feel the way they want to feel, you let them be different and think differently from you. Everyone is different in one way or the other. Acceptance starts with perceiving reality as it is right now: what people are rather than what you want them to be.

Do make a definite read to know who finally makes friends with Frankie.
