A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed.

Hints : Explain the concept (introduction), give example (related story) , illustrated the idea and give moral. 

Ans: 

          This proverb mean a friend who can support his own friend in his need is a true friend. In this world, we meet many human beings and start a friendship with them. But all friends are not true. Our elders have made a formula to test who is a true friend and who is not that a friend stands by you even in your hard times, that friend is true. The following story proves it. 

     Once upon a time, there were two friends who had great love for each other and promised to help each other, in the hour of need. One day they were passing through a deep forest. Suddenly a bear came in front of them. So, both of them were afraid. One of them knew how to climb a tree and he climbed a tree, leaving his friend alone.  He forgot his promise to help his friend. The other friend didn't know how to climb a tree. Then he fell on the ground and held his breath pretending to be dead. The bear came up to him and smelt him. Found him a dead man, the bear left the place. When the bear was gone, the other friend came down and asked, "Did the bear say anything to you?" The friend replied, "Yes, the bear told me not to trust a friend who left you in time of danger.

      We can see many examples of true friendships from ancient time till date such as friendship of Rama and Sugreva, Krishna and Sudama, Duryodhana and Karna, etc. Such friends become life’s greatest blessing.         

       It is very necessary for us to distinguish between the bad and good friends. A friend who remain same in all conditions (good or bad) and support heartily, really become the true friend forever and a selfish man can never be a good friend and never trust a such a man
