Reading Text | Excerpt

Friends in Trouble

There lived two close friends, Basit and Raheel, in a village near Hyderabad. In
school, they studied together and in the evening both friends enjoyed playing cricket
together. On weekends, they usually went to the nearby canal for fishing. Often, they
also went on long walks in the nearby forest because they liked listening to the birds
chirping, watching the animals at play, and looking at the beautiful flowers. They
always enjoyed each other’s company. They laughed, joked, and had a great time
the whole day.
Basit was a kind and helpful boy by nature. Moreover, his parents had always taught
him to be a kind, sympathetic, helpful, and sincere person. He behaved very nicely
with all his friends, but he had a special place in his heart for Raheel. Basit always
helped Raheel with his homework. He was always willing to guide and help him
whenever he faced any difficulty or problem. He also happily gave one of his fish to
Raheel when he failed to catch any because, luckily, Basit often managed to catch
more fish than Raheel. Although Basit was very active and very intelligent, he was
not good at climbing trees. Raheel, on the other hand, was very good at climbing
trees, as he had a tall tree in his house, which he had been climbing from an early
age.
