One man had three friends. The first two of them enjoyed his special love and respect, but the third was sometimes forgotten.
It so happened that this man got into trouble. Who should I turn to for help? To friends. And so he comes to his first friend, his most beloved, and explains the reason for his visit.
- What kind of friend are you to me? - he answers. - I don't even know you. Now, if you like, take some clothes and don’t expect anything more from me.
Saddened by such a refusal, the man turns to his second friend and asks to accompany him and accompany him on the journey that he must take to correct his cramped situation. But this friend also refused to help due to lack of free time, although he agreed to spend it nearby. Abandoned by his relatives and friends, he remembered his third friend and turned to him.
This one, beyond all expectation, took an ardent part in the misfortune, and with his help the misfortune passed.
