Imagine you are Luke. Write a letter to your cousin about how true friendship saved your life.
· On what condition did the king permit you to meet your family?
· Who came forward to help you? Why?
· Your feelings at the end.
Dear Lisa,
I had a very tough time when i was in Syracuse. There was a cruel ruler who was very rude towards the people. But the king of Syracuse decided to put the leaders to death instead of the cruel ruler. As i was one of the leader, even i was imprisoned. But before hanging me to death i had a wish to meet my family and i also promised the king that i will return back to die on the appointed time. The king agreed on the condition that i should find a friend who will stay in my place till i return so that if i failed to return my friend shall be put to death.
Fortunately, a very dear friend of mine, Kyle who was alone and had no family came foward at once and offered to stay in prison while the king allowed me to go away. The king was surprised to see our true frienship. Kyle readily agreed to stay in prison because he don't wanted me to die and my family to be left alone.
I am really blessed to have a friend like Kyle in my life who always accompany me in my joys and sorrows. My heart melted when my best friend who had no family came foward to save me and my family. There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.
Your loving cousin,
Luke
