Misunderstanding and Friendship
Sameer is my best friend and I am proud of him. But the beginning of our friendship was quite interesting. It was my first day at the new school. I was feeling quite uncomfortable among the new classmates and teachers. I felt students sitting behind me were making fun of me. Once and twice I looked over my shoulder and found Sameer sitting on the desk behind me. I felt it was he who was making fun of me. But I was not sure. However, I kept my cool. I did not talk to any student in the class. A few days passed and we remained unfriended.
Then one day after the dispersal, as I reached the bicycle stand, I found my bicycle’s tyre flat. That day I did not have any money in my pocket. I had spent all of it during the break. I stood there thinking what to do. It was at this moment that Sameer walked up to me. He saw that my bicycle’s tyre was flat. He asked me, “Can I help you in any manner?” I shared with him my problem. He immediately gave me rupees fifty. I assured him I would return him the money the next day. From that day onwards Sameer and I became best friends. Till today he is my best friend. Later on I cleared my misunderstanding about the first day at the school. He said it was not him; it were the students sitting behind him that were making fun of me on the first day of the school.
