One
day, I forgot to bring my lunch box in school. I had not taken my breakfast
either. When the bell rang for interval, everyone rushed outside
the classroom to have their lunch. None of them asked me for lunch. It was only
my best friend named Karan who came to my seat with his lunch. He happily
shared his lunch with me. That’s why we say: ” A friend in need is a friend in
deed”.
