Two Best Friends

Two Best Friends:

Long Ago, in a village lived two friends Raman and Tarun. Raman was from a wealthy family whereas Tarun was from a poor family.

Despite their status difference they used to stay with each other all the time and were best friends.

As time went by both grew up and got busy with their life. With a busy life, they didn’t get much time to meet each other.

One day, Tarun got very ill and he was given the best rest. When Raman came to know about it. He went to Tarun’s house to meet him.

He didn’t stay there for long and talked much but instead, he just took some money out of his pocket and gave it to his friend and left.

Tarun felt very bad but didn’t say anything to him. With time Tarun got well and worked hard to earn money so that he could return Raman’s money.

Once Tarun earned enough money. He went to Raman to return his money. Still, Tarun couldn’t forget how rude was Raman’s behavior toward him.

Just after some time, Raman got ill and the doctor suggested bed rest.

As soon as Tarun got News of Raman’s illness, he left all his work as it is and went to meet Raman and stayed by his side until Raman got all well.

After this, one day Raman went to meet Tarun and said, “My friend, I feel very guilty. When you fell ill, I gave you money and you returned it.

But when I got ill, you stayed by my side the whole time and took care of me, How am I ever going to be able to return this favor of yours..?”

Tarun hugged him and replied, “I just wanted you to realize that money is not everything and today I am very happy that you understand that..” 

Moral of the story:

Money is not everything. Friendship is all about Care and Affection.
