Day 22 - Where is your true friend?

Luke was an ordinary 13-year-old boy. He enjoyed playing sports with his friends after school and did average in his studies. He wasn’t a popular kid in school, but he was such a playful kid that he had many friends to hang out with.

One day, Luke was swimming in the river with his friends. They tried to stay near the shore, but Luke got too excited. He went too deep in the river, and his feet couldn’t reach the ground in the water. He was about to drown, so he tried to wave his hands to alarm his friends. However, they thought Luke was playing a trick on them. When Luke was out of air, he slowly drowned under the water.

When Luke woke up, he was in the hospital. One of his friends told him that when his friends realized that he was in danger, everyone was panicked and didn’t know what to do. Then all of a sudden, a boy from the other end jumped into the water and saved Luke. The kid was Keith, a boy Luke had once helped when Keith was bullied by some mean kids in school. Keth was a quiet, short, and unattractive kid. Keith was always a target for pranks in school. Luke and Keith became friends after the accident, and then nobody picked on Keith anymore.
