Unmindful of the consequence, the soldier went and an hour later returned, mortally wounded, carrying his dead friend.
The officer was furious; “Ï told you he was dead. Now I’ve lost both of you. Tell me, was it worth going out there to bring in a corpse”
The dying man replied, “Öh, it was sir. When I got to him he was still alive. And he said to me, ‘Jack, I was sure you would come.”
Friendship has no fear. It expresses itself in sacrifice. Humanity survives purely because of love for each other.
