Friendship
Nero: Dennis! The day after tomorrow is lily’s birthday, how about a birthday party?!
Dennis: Well, you must haven’t know what happened between us. Nero: en? What’s wrong? Dennis: We have finished. Nero: What?! Why?!
Dennis: Last Sunday, I had an appointment with her in restaurant. I wait for her since 12 o’clock until 6! When I ask her the reason she didn’t came. She said that she was watching
movie with another one! What a fucking day! (你给改改。。。) Nero: oh! That is terrible! But, everyone will make mistakes. Maybe she forgot it!
Dennis: But how can she forget?! I have prepared for this appointment for a whole week!
Nero: calm down, calm down. Do you forget what she did for you? One year ago, you broke your leg by a traffic accident. It is Lily brought meals for you every day, it is Lily came to see you after school and told you what
happened in school. Have you forgotten?
Dennis: But all of this is became preterit.
Nero: I don‘t think all what you say is right ,I guess that a true friend is a friend that we can help each other, especially when we need help greatly and when we are in trouble or in danger. There is a saying:” a friend in need is a friend indeed”. She helped you when you are in trouble, it prove us that Lily is your real friend. Maybe you need to talk with her.
Dennis: Well, well. I will give it a try. Nero: I hope to see your face on her party.
