A Real Friend

“Wow, it was easier then I thought. Your advice saved our life,” Alex breathed again.
Elsa helped her friend to walk out of the cave and they were soon away from any danger. Alex received the right treatment to his ankle while Elsa searched for Clara and for Daniel, but couldn’t find them anywhere.

Later, Alex came to her house to express all his gratitude.
“I really don’t know what I would have done without your help. Everyone thought you were the chicken-hearted, but they, actually proved out to be the real cowards. You stood there for me when everyone else left me. I can’t thank you enough. You proved out to be my real friend by what you did.”
“I did just what my heart told me to do. You are my friend, how could I leave you in a bad moment like that? When I saw you in danger, I felt a strange power inside me. My fear was gone.”
“A friend in need is a friend indeed,” Alex smiled.
That was an experience Elsa would not forget easily. She learned about the real value of friendship. And she continued her journey with the clouds and the birds into the deep unknown lands of the mind.
