Friendship

Three friend were they only 
And they had to go from this part 
To over that part where live their sweet hearts 
But they had a big cut in the road  
Blocking their happy journey in the middle 

They could not jump over nor could they swim across 
As the cut was too deep and it held no water 
Yet they had to reach to their sweet hearts 

And they had no necessary apparatus 
Except a ten feet long pole of bamboo 
They were thinking hard to find the way out 
But nothing was coming in their mind 

Suddenly an idea came in the mind 
And immediately younger one told the other two 
And they thought that the idea was not bad at all 
So they put the pole on their shoulders 
And held it tight and started moving on 

The first one reached safely to the other part
 Hanging at the front like a monkey or a bat
Now the second one grabbed the middle 
And hanged like a bundle while rest of two carried the pole 

Second one also reached to other part safely 
The two now pressed down the pole on their shoulders 
And helped the third one to cross the cut 
The third one also hanged like a bat like the first one 
Difference was only that he was in the rear 


They showed that if friendship is strong 
And ready to help each other then they could cross 
Any hurdle and can reach where they want.
