The text below is based on the proverb "A friend in need is a friend indeed".
for you.
The meaning of the word 'friendship' has become somewhat

meaningless or cheap in modem times. We seem to call everybody
whom we came into contact with as our friend. Mere acquaintances e.g. come
we make while at the park, fellow student we meet at school level (a)
competitions, etc. We say hello, introduce ourself, and maybe chat for (b)
a minute or two - does that make one friends? Apparently, at this day (c)
and age, the answer is yes. Even our neighbours and those which we (d)
frequently meet in our everyday social interactions are not necessary (e)
our friends. True friendships is something special and very rare. A
(f)
good friend is one of the more precious possessions. It is also true that
(g)
without friends our live would be dry, dull and dreary. The company
(h)
of friends makes life happy, interest and worth living. A true friend
(i)
understands us, appreciates our circumstances and problem, and shares
(j)
our joys and misfortunes. The real worth of friends is known when we
fall on bad days. Those who stand by us are our real friends. A friend in
need is a friend indeed.
