How Many Friends?

Hi… everybody, today, I have the inspirations story to present about your friends.

The old man turned to me and asked, “How many friends have you?”
“Why, 10 or 20 friends have I,” and I named off just a few.
He rose quite slowly with effort and sadly shook his head.
“A lucky child you are to have so many friends,” he said.
“But think of what you’re saying. There is so much you do not know.
A friend is just not someone to whom you say hello.
A friend is a tender shoulder on which to softly cry, a well to pour your troubles down and raise your spirits high. A friend is a hand to pull you up from darkness and despair when all your other so-called friends have helped to put you there.
A true friend is an ally who can’t be moved or bought, a voice to keep your name alive when others have forgotten.
But most of all a friend is a heart, a strong and sturdy wall, for from the hearts of friends there comes the greatest love of all.
So think of what I’ve spoken, for every word is true, and answer once again, my child, how many friends have you?
And then he stood and faced me, awaiting my reply.
Softly I answered, “If lucky…one has I. You.”

//I wish you have more the inspirations with your friends. I think that we have only a good friend better than a lot of friend but who are the bad friends.^-*
