VI. Read the passage, then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
The proverb 'A friend in need is a friend indeed.' means that we shall know who our real
friends are when we are in need. Those who desert us when we are in difficulty are just
unfaithful friends.
A true friend would remain with us whether we are rich or poor. Some people befriend the
rich, simply for the sake of getting benefits from them.
It is useless to have insincere friends because these friends remain with us as long as we are
rich or powerful. It is better to have one or two good friends rather than having hundreds of
insincere ones.
A true friend will stand by us in our trials and tribulations. He will be a great source of
consolation and comfort in our troubles. So we must be careful in choosing our friends. It is
difficult to choose a sincere friend overnight; it takes years for us to find a sincere friend.
1. Real friends share everything we need.
2. Unfaithful friends stop being our friends when we are in trouble.
3. A rich friend is always a true friend.
