A Friend In a need Is a friend indeed.

Once upon a time there lived two poor young man in a certain village. One of them was very strong,active,and gaint sized. Other was short ,frail, and pygmy sized. The common cause between them was there unemployment and poverty which had brought them closer to each other.

As it is well said:

Friendship must be among the members of the same class.

They had heard the old saying:

change in place bring about change in luck.

So, they decided to embrace on a journey in order to try saying as well as their luck. One day they were passing through jungle. They saw a dangerous bear bouncing towards them. A large person without any delay and without caring for his friend, at once jumped up a tall tree and was well out of sight of bear.

Fair weather friends always leave in lurch.

The other did not know what to do to escape from his predicament. He was wise and quick at wit and started thinking for his life.

And old saying:

Bear does not touch the corpse.

Reverberated through his ears, he laid down the ground.When the bear approached him, he held his breath and pretended to be dead. The bear felled on him,smelled with his mouth and took him for in corpse and went away. The fair weather friend had forgotten the following saying of 

Holy Prophet[S.A.W];

Oh ,Ali travel two years to do good to your parents and one year to establish bonds of kinship with your relatives.

When the bear was out of sight, he came down the tree and said:

What does bear say in your ears.

The grieved companion said:

He gave a good piece of advice, never accompany a person who leaves you in lurch as misfortune tests the sincerity of friendship.

A best friend is a great thing whom you can relie upon when you you're sad. He is always there when time in need, he is always there pushing you to succeed.


Moral lessons:

  • A Friend In a need Is a friend indeed.
  • Misfortune is the acid test of friendship.
  • Fair weather friends always leave in lurch.
