Real friend

Horror gripped the heart of the World WarⅠsoldiers he was his lifelong friend fall in battle, Caught in a trench with continuous gunfire whizzing over his head, the soldier asked his lieutenant if he might go out into the “No Man’s Land” between the trenches to bring his fallen comrade hack.
“You can go” said the lieutenant, “but I don’t think it will be worth it. You friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away.”
The lieutenant’s words didn’t matter, and the soldier went anyway. Miraculously he managed to reach his friend, hoist him onto his shoulder, and bring him back to their company’s trench. As the two of them tumbled in together to the bottom of the trench, the officer checked the wounded soldier, then looked kindly at his friend.
“I told you it wouldn’t be worth it,” he said, “you friend is dead, and you are mortally wounded.”
“It was worth it, though, sir.” the soldier said.
“How do you mean, ’worth it’?” responded the lieutenant. “Your friend is dead!”
“Yes, sir,” the private answered, “but it was worth it because when I get to him, he was still alive, and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say, ’Jim, I knew you’d come.’”
Many times in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it. Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in life.

May each and every one of you be blessed with the company of true friends.

       再次读到这个故事，我还是忘记了他为什么要回去，毕竟朋友活着的几率很低，但是看到了最后，我又再一次动容。哪怕是真的死亡了，也是要回去的，能听到最后的一句话也是莫大的安慰，能陪在身侧便是不辜负。什么是真正的朋友，我觉得每个人都会有他自己的定义，但如果我是当时身受重伤的人，我会希望朋友不要出现，用我的意念告诉朋友，我离开了但是希望你好好的。
