Make friends – Be a friend  by madugundukrishna

You have many friends. But do you know who your true friend is? Your true friend will always want good things for you your true friend will be loyal to you. Your true friend will love you. Friendship is built upon love. Only when you love, can you make true friends.

*It is very easy to make friends. But it is not so easy to stay true to friends. You also have to know how to be a good friend.

Make friends with those who can save you from evils. Avoid those who have bad habits. If your friend speaks the truth, naturally you will learn to speak the truth. A friend of a liar will learn to tell lies.

It is a bad habit to fight with friends. You have to listen to each other. If you bully your friend, he will not remain your friend for long. Loyalty is a very important quality. You must make new friends, but you must never forget old friends. Do you know the words of a song about friends? It says: make new friends but keep the old. For, the new is silver but the old is gold.

You must love your friend. You must not spoil his books or other things. You must respect your friend.

This is a story about the friendship between an elephant and his caretaker. Mahesh, the elephant, belonged to a king. Gowrappa used to make to take care of him. Mahesh had grown old. He could hardly walk.

The king ordered that Mahesh be taken to the jungle and set free there, all alone. Gowrappa took him to the jungle, but did not have the heart to leave his friend. He built a hut for himself in the jungle, and looked after Mahesh.

One night, Mahesh disappeared. Gowrappa was very sad. He looked for him everywhere. Three days later, Mahesh returned. He picked up Gowrappa with his trunk and placed him on his back. He took him to the edge of the jungle where a river flowed. There, Gowrappa saw piles of elephant bones and tusks. Elephant tusks are made of ivory. Ivory is very valuable. Gowrappa became a rich man.

*But the remember animals hunting is crime.
