One fine morning two friends set out on a boating trip. They sailed the boat in the calm sea and talked merrily. Soon they were far away from the shore.
All of a sudden, the sky grew dark. A high wind started blowing hard. The sea became rough. The boat tossed up and down in the stormy sea.
Luckily, the two friends saw a plank floating on the sea. So they jumped into the sea and caught it. But the plank was too small to bear the weight of two.
"You are a married man. You must live for your wife and children. I am single and so I must go," said one friend to the other.
"But you have your mother and sister. Who will take care of them ` "' argued the married man.
"Indeed you!" said the young man and let off the plank. He was drowned.
After the storm was over, the married friend reached home safely. He took care of the mother and the sister of his noble friend who was no more in this world.
TRUE FRIENDS SHARE EACH OTHER'S JOYS AS WELL AS SORROWS.
