Friends For Life
Friendship goes a long way but how far would you go to save the life of your best friend? The following story will demonstrate.
Two lifelong fellow strollers, Pete and John, were walking from town to town crisscrossing the South African countryside. One day, just after leaving a small town, John decided to relieve himself . A snake hiding in the shrubs got annoyed at being showered and struck at the source of the stream of water.
Realizing that he was very close to death John sat down in the shade of a tree and sent Pete back to town to fetch the doctor. His friend arrived at the doctor’s rooms but the receptionist informed him that the doctor has gone to a far out farm to help with a woman in labor. She asked if she could assist in any way.
Pete explained John’s predicament but being very shy he failed to tell her exactly where the snake had bitten his friend. She told him to make two small incisions into each bite wound and to suck the poison out with his mouth. In a very confused state of mind he started his journey back to where his friend was.
When Pete arrived back at where John was still sitting in the shade John asked: “Hey Pete, where is the doctor? What did he say?”
Pete looked at his friend gravely and said: “John, the doctor said you’re going to die.”
Would you have tried to save him if he was your friend?
