Spirit of friendship

Horror gripped the heart of a World War-I soldier, as he saw his lifelong
friend fall in battle.The soldier asked his Lieutenant if he could go out
to bring his fallen comrade back. "You can go," said the Lieutenant, "but I
don't think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may
throw your life away. "The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and the soldier
went anyway.

Miraculously, he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his
shoulder and brought him back to their company's trench. The officer checked the
wounded soldier , then looked kindly at his friend. " I told you it wouldn't
be worth it," he said. "Your friend is dead and you are mortally wounded."

" It was worth it, Sir," said the soldier. "What do you mean by worth
it?" responded the Lieutenant. " Your friend is dead." "Yes Sir," the
soldier answered, " but it was worth it because when I got 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 u 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 your
life........
(This is a true story. Share this with all your friends let the spirit
of
friendship in us not die.)
