The war was taking place and it was fierce fighting between the two armed forces, on one side there were two friends, they have been friends from their childhood days. They were so fond of each other so both took up their career in the army.

In an ambush on a particular day, there were many who were killed and firing all over when one of the friend heard his other friend’s cries to help him. So  permission was sought from the army chief to help this wounded friend, but the chief lamented and said that “he is wounded gravely and is going to die, theres no point in saving him atleast let you be alive -  we are short of soldiers”

So he kept quite, but the wounded friend was calling him out for help repeatedly. He could not bear the cries of his friend so he told his chief “ I am going out to reach him he is a friend of mine from my child hood days”. The chief had no other option but to reluctantly let him go.

He reached his wounded friend and brought him dead back to the camp. The chief was so furious and shouted at him “ didn’t I tell you he will die, you could have also been killed, leaving me alone here – you have committed a mistake.”

For which he replied “ Chief I did the right thing, when I reached him he was alive and his last words were I knew you would come”.

Reliability on relationships, be it friends or family should cut across all boundaries – This gives credibility to the individuals concerned.
