In a battle, a soldier prepared to bring his wounded friend back from the field.

His captain said, "Its of no use! Your friend must be dead by now."

But the soldier still went on to bring back his friend.

Seeing the dead body, the Captain said, "I told you it was no use. He is dead."

The soldier replied with moist eyes, "No sir, it was really worth all my efforts. He is my friend."

When his friend saw him, he smiled and said his last words, "I knew you would come for me."

True friends are precious and rare.
