This past weekend was spent with friends that we have not seen for six months. The girls went walking on native bush tracks and the boys went for a game of golf. We all had such a lot of catching up to do, but it was like we had seen each other only the other day. How nice it is to have such friendships that one can feel so comfortable with and be able to share a laugh and chat with such ease. All too soon the wonderful weekend came to an end and our friends made their way back home, with promises of catching up soon.
Once there were two friends going through a forest. Being in the forest they knew that there could be a danger of being attacked by wild animals. So, they decided to keep close to each other and promise to remain united even if they got into a dangerous situation.
Suddenly, while they were on their way, they saw a very large bear approaching them. Both friends got scared but, instead of staying with each other, one of the friends at once climbed to a nearby tree leaving the other behind.
The other friend didn't know how to climb and was left on the ground. He did quick thinking and lay down on the ground breathlessly and pretended to be a dead man. The bear came near the man and smelled his ear and left the place because bears do not eat dead bodies..
Now after the bear had left, the friend on the tree came down and asked his friend on the ground “What did the bear say in you ear?”
The friend replied, “The bear advised me not to believe in a false friend.
The moral of this little story is, A true friend is the one who always supports and stands by you in any situation.
Have a lovely day and be thankful for good friends
