Friends in Jungle

A man was caught by tribals in a jungle. It was the day of sacrifice. The tribals decided to give sacrifice this man to please their Idol. When the sacrifice ceremonies started, this man requested the tribal king to give him some time so that he can say a final goodbye to his relatives in a nearby village. The king refused, as he could not trust this man. Another man within the tribals came out of the crowd and requested the king to grant him some time and offered himself for the sacrifice if the visitor doesn’t turn up. The visitor returned, met his relatives, and started his return journey, during which he fell from the horse. Meanwhile, the scheduled time was getting over and the king ordered the sacrifice of a man from his tribe. Somehow in just a nick of the time visitor also returned. Now both these men started offering themselves for the sacrifice and started fighting. When the king tried to get into the details of this fight, he found that they were actually childhood friends who were now ready to give their lives to the other friend. Seeing this the King’s heart also melted and he forgave both friends. He also announced stopping the tradition of human sacrifice.

True friendship like this may not be so easy to find these days, but I can definitely say that the feeling to do something for your good old friends still exists in our society.
