Judging a true friend
It is the time when King Akbar was ruling India. He had one of his friend Rahim Khan in his court. Rahim Khan was very close to Akbar. Because of this, Rahim Khan had lots of friends. Everyone wanted to befriend Rahim Khan so that their aministrative work can be done quickly. Rahim Khan thought it is because of his popularity.
A day came when his belief went wrong. One day , Akbar and Rahim Khan had an argument over a silly matter. Angry Akber asked Rahim Khan to get out of the court and he never wants to see Rahim's face again.
The news spread quickly about the argument. After the argument, Rahim returned to house with worry face. The day came when he was found struggling to have food also. He contacted many of his friends for help. But now, the same friends whom Rahim was proud of, now behaved as though they dont know Rahim. Rahim was devastated.
Finally ,he thought "when the man is in his good times, whole world is his slave. But when the bad time comes, nobody is there." Now, Rahim Khan knew his illusion. Akbar also came to know the plight of his friend , and once again included him in his court.
Again , news spread . People again started to come to Rahim Khan's house. But now , Rahim Khan has become wise. He didnt allow anyone as he has come to know the nature of people.
Moral: A true friend is one who helps in our difficult times.
