STORY
Horror gripped the  heart of the World War I soldier as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle.  Caught in a trench with continuous gunfire whizzing over his head, the soldier  asked his lieutenant if he might go out into the “no man’s land” between the  trenches to bring his fallen comrade back. 
“You can go,” said the  lieutenant, “but i don’t think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead  and you may throw your life away.” The lieutenant’s advice didn’t matter, and  the soldier went anyway. Miraculously he managed to reach his friend, hoist him  onto his shoulder and bring him back to their company’s trench. As the two of  them tumbled in together to the bottom of the trench, the officer checked the  wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at his friend.
“I told you it  wouldn’t be worth it,” he said. “Your friend is dead and you are mortally  wounded.” 
“It was worth it,  though, sir,” said the soldier. 
“What do you mean;  worth it?” responded the Lieutenant. “Your friend is dead.”  
“Yes, Sir” the private  answered. “But it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive and  I had the satisfaction of hearing him saying, “Jim…, I knew you’d  come.”
MORAL OF THE  STORY:
Many times in life,  whether a thing is worth doing or not, really depends on how u looks at it. Take  up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may  not regret not doing it later in your life. May each and every one of you be  blessed with the company of TRUE FRIENDS. A true friend is one who walks in,  when the rest of the world walks out. War doesn’t determine who’s right.War only  determines who’s left.
