Title: My Best Friend

The world looks gloomy in the absence of a true friend. Man by

nature is a social animal. A man who lives alone is either an angel
or a beast. Thus, arises the need for a true and honest friend. True
friends, no doubt, are rare in this world.
John is my best friend. He has been my class fellow since my early
days. He comes of a very good and respectablefamily. His parents
are well-to-do. John always stands first in the class. John is very
much interested in games and debates. He is a good speaker and
always bags prizes. John is one of the most popular boys in the
school. Students like him very much because of his good qualities
and sound character.
He possesses all the qualities of head and heart. He has a sweet
temperament. He is just like a mirrorwhich reflects the merits and
demerits of others. He advises and loves all but hates none. He
also shares the joys and sorrows of his friends.
A friends is the elixir of life and panacea for all ills. A friend is very
useful at the time of adversity. John really proves the proverb that
a friend in need is a friend indeed. But there are friends in this
world, who are fair weather friends. When ones purse jingles with
money, they flock, otherwise they run away.
My best friend is the embodiment of all human virtues. He never
injures any ones feelings. He is a calm and quiet boy. He is very
sympathetic to the poor, feeds the hungry and nurses the sick. He
has a religious bent of mind. All of these noble acts of his make
him my true, sincere and best friend. I have learnt a lot from him.
For me, he is the sea of knowledge. Service of humanity, devotion
to duty, obedience to elders and love for youngers are his great
ideals.
As a matter of fact. I am lucky that a person like John is my best
friend. For me, he is a source of inspiration and strength. These
qualities have tempted me to call him my true friend.
