A poor's friend


Once upon a time there lived a poor fisherman. His name was John Michaels and he was very hard working. He lived alone in his house. One day, his school friend came to his village. The friend said to him, “Hey, John, how are you?  Do you recognize me? ”. John said after thinking for a while, “Sorry, but I am unable to recognize you”. His friend said, “I knew that you will fail to do so as you did not remember things in school time also”. When John heard this he quickly said, “Oh, are you my classmate Alex?” His friend said, “Yes, dear”.

John welcomed Alex to his house and gave him some food to eat which he had stored for himself. After some hours, Alex went to the inn in the village. That night John could not have a proper sleep, so he took his fishing rod and went for fishing before the usual timing of waking up. On his way, he noticed Alex and talked to him for a while. Alex lastly said, “What would happen if I will die?” John replied, “Don’t say such things”. John went on his way. After two hours of fishing he came back to his house. When he was feeling bored he went to inn to meet Alex. There he came to know that his school friend Alex was no more. A person said that he died last night because of over-drinking.

When John thought of Alex who talked to him early morning, he was very surprised that Alex was dead before he left for fishing. He thought how he talked to Alex that time. “Was he someone else?” he thought. “Was it the soul of Alex”? He got scared thinking such thoughts. When the night came, he was about to sleep. Suddenly an unknown voice came to his ears. After a while, he recognized the voice which was of Alex. He noticed that the sound was coming from the outside of his home he took a lantern with him and went behind a tree. There he saw that full tree was covered with blood.

After walking some steps he was an arrow sign on the other tree which was pointing towards the ground. He thought that his friend wanted to tell him something. So, he dug the ground there and found there was a big bag of gold coins. He kept that with him and gradually he became a rich person of the village. Every day he used to visit the funeral of Alex.

John became rich with the gift of his friend. May everybody get such friends.
