Description

I have picked “The Devoted Friend” for this task. I picked up this tale because of the story flow and the moral the author tried to indicate. This story tells us about the one-sided friendship between Hans and Miller where devoted one was Hans on the other side Miller was just an opportunist. I liked this story because it showed the outcome of a one sided friendship. There Hans always treated Miller as a best friend. He always visited him with flowers, fruits and herbs from his garden but on the other side Miller never came down to visit Hans even he was starving to death. All he did just talking about good friendship but he never did anything for the sake of their relationship. Once Miller wanted to give his old wheelbarrow to Hans. Hans was very happy about that but in exchange Miller made him runs his errands by him(Hans). But at the end, in the sense of repaying him(Miller) for a thing which he(Hans) never had he given his life. So in the name of so-called friendship Hans lost his precious life but a selfish person like Miller had no regret about that. As a moral of the story I think the author showed us the dangerous side of a one-sided so called friendship. We should not lose our self for the sake of the other people. When there is no consideration between two people one person is dominating that cannot be a relation. A good friendship builds when friends help each other in the crisis and share their feelings. If its not then we should get out of that kind of friendship before we lose something precious from our selves....
