Two friend


Sue and Johnsy were friends. In November when Johnsy suffered pneumonia,
Sue took every care of her. She called a doctor. She brought he board in the
room. She used to give her mental support. But the sickness of Johnsy was
getting out of control, Medicines were not working on her. She had lost her
will power to live. She associated her life with the ivy leaves out side the
window and developed a thinking that she would die as the last leaf falls. At last
Sue thought a plan. She went to Behrman, an old man painter, to make him
paint a leaf on the wall. The old painter did the same. And when Johnsy saw the
last leaf not falling, she regained her confidence on herself. She was cured
Hence Sue proved to be a friend in need is a friends indeed.

The views of Bacon on spending are a very wise and practical guide on the
management of financial matters. He opines that one should save a certain part
of one's income for a rainy day. One should be wise in spending money.
Bacon's views are highly relevant in the present time because they teach people
the act of prudence . Spending one's money wisely helps one in earning honour
and estate.
