There were two friends, Danladi and Danjuma.

They lived in the same town.

Their friendship was strong.

Sometimes they stayed the night at each other's house.

Their children grew up to become friends as well.

They went to school and played together.

One day, Danladi got a call from his sister. Their father was sick.

Danladi was needed in their home town.

Danladi spoke with Danjuma.

He told him about what had happened and his plans to travel home.

The next day, Danladi prepared very early to embark on the journey.

He asked Danjuma to escort him to the train station.

Danjuma spoke with Danladi to encourage him.

"Be strong my dear friend. I will take care of your family and business here to the best of my ability. Have a safe trip and I wish Daddy a speedy recovery."

They had been friends for a long. Danladi believed that his family and business would be in safe hands.

He was happy leaving. "I am lucky to have a friend like Danjuma. All shall be well," he thought.

Danladi was happy. His father recovered fully and left hospital.

He was unhappy because his friend did not keep his promise. He had even ran away with the money from his business.

Danladi was devastated by what happened. He didn't know where or how to start again.

He didn't know if he could trust anyone again. He asked so many questions.
