Answer 2

Answer:

It’s true that lazy friends often become a burden. In this context, “a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend” is an apt saying. Lazy friends most often remain burden because they do not want to do any work and one has to do the whole work for the sake of one’s friendship. In the story, the author has two friends, Harris and George. Both of them are lazy. They irritate the author who had volunteered to pack for them.

 

This service becomes a headache for him. As a friend, we should be considerate to our friends who offer their help. We should accept their help with humility and a sense of gratefulness. We should not take undue advantage of their help and become a burden. Cooperation and mutual understanding are essential for a friendship to sustain.
