A Story of Friendship

Tanya Guleria

Story


Lion, jackal and vulture

Went along on their way:.

To each other they showed culture

And divided their pray.


The bird was watching from the highs

And when it saw some deer:

It gave a signal to the guys

The jackal lurked near,


 It chased the deer in direction,

Where the lion sprang,

And there was not a real protection

From this wicked gang.


 But destiny expressed its might

And didn’t let things go:

A poison snake did deadly bite

The lion on the paw.


Experiencing awful pain

The lion cried for water:

But he was hoping all in vain:

The jackal didn’t bother.


 The lion burned in cruel fever :

It asked the bird for shade:

Bird’s heart did slightly quiver:

But still its friend betrayed.


In life you take some care:

When you choose a friend :

A lot of them take when you share,

But aren’t beside in the end.
