The world looks gloomy in the absence of a true
friend. Man by nature is a social animal. A man who lives alone is either an angel
or a beast. Thus, there arises the need for a true and honest friend. True friends,
no doubt, are rare in this world.
Mr. Salman
is my best friend. He has been my class fellow since my early days. He comes of
a very good and respectable family. His parents are well-to-do. Salman always
stands first in the class. Salman is very much interested in games and debates.
He is a good speaker and always bags prizes. Salman is one of the most popular
boys in the school. Students like him very much because of his good qualities
and sound character. He possesses all the qualities of head and heart. He has a
sweet temperament. He is just like a mirror which reflects the merits and
demerits of others. He advises and loves all but hates none. He also shares the
joys and sorrows of his friends. A friend is the elixir of life and panacea for
all ills. A friend is very useful at the time of adversity. Salman really
proves the proverb that a friend in need is a friend indeed. But there are
friends in this world, who are fair weather friends. When one’s purse jingles with
money, they flock, otherwise they run away.
My best friend is the embodiment of all human
virtues. He never injures any one’s feelings. He is a calm and quiet boy. He is
very sympathetic to the poor, feeds the hungry, and nurses the sick. He has a
religious bent of mind. These entire noble acts of his make him my true,
sincere and best friend. I have learnt a lot from him. For me, he is the sea of
knowledge. Service of humanity, devotion to duty, obedience to elders, and love
for Youngers are his great ideals. As a matter of fact, I am lucky that a
person like Salman is my best friend. For me, he is a source of inspiration and
strength.
These qualities have tempted me to call him my true
friend.
