 Dialogue
Ilham : I don’t believe in the saying ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed’.
Rafi : Really?
Ilham : You know my friends always walk out on me, if I’m in trouble.
Rafi : Oh, that’s very bad. Then they’re not really friends. Friends should help one another.
Ilham : You’re right. I sometimes wonder, is it really that hard to make friends?
Rafi : No, it isn’t. You can even make friends with a monkey, by giving him peanuts.
Ilham : Right; but it’s not so easy to make friends with people.
Rafi : Just try to be nice first, and see if it works. Not all people like to take advantage of
others. Do you remember the saying ‘out of sight, out of mind’?
Ilham : Just because your friends don’t visit you doesn’t mean that they are not still your
friends. Okay, I’ll do that.
Rafi : Great! And remember, I’m always around if you want me.
