Compadre

Once upon a time, there were two cowboys who were the best of friends. They rode together through thick and thin, and always had each other’s back. One day, while resting on the dusty trail, one cowboy turned to the other and said, “Hey compadre, you reckon we oughta do somethin’ different for once?”

The other cowboy thought for a moment and replied, “Sure thing, pal. What do you have in mind?”

From that day on, the two cowboys started using the terms “compadre” and “pal” interchangeably. They even started to tease each other in good-natured fun, each trying to come up with new and creative ways to use the words.

And that’s how the crossword clue “Compadre” came to be connected with the answer “PAL“. Because sometimes, the best way to learn a new word is by hearing a fun and engaging story that makes it easy to understand.
