The soldier friend

in #books7 years ago

A soldier tells his lieutenant:

My Friend has not returned from the field
battle, sir. I request permission to go to
look for it

  • Permission denied - the officer repeated -.
    I do not want him to risk his life for a
    man who has probably died.
    The soldier, without paying any attention, left. One hour
    later I come back, mortally wounded,
    transporting the corpse of his friend.
    The officer was furious:
    -I told him he was dead Tell me: I deserved
    it's worth going there to bring a corpse
    And the soldier, almost dying, replied:
    -Of course, sir, when I found him, still
    He was alive and could tell me "I'm sure you would come"

A friend is the one who hurts when everyone is gone
