Long ago in a tiny distant island lived two friends beetles, at first everything was very good, the coexistence was very good, but little by little the relationship was wearing away, the main problem was the small island, there was not much to eat, The only food was the excrement of a small deer, this was not enough food for the two and they were always hungry.
One day, one of the beetles said that the situation was unsustainable and seriously thought to leave the island, he intended to swim to the mainland in search of food to eat.
But that is very dangerous! Maybe you'd better fly, but you have to keep in mind that you can lose your life trying to cross land, do you think it's worth risking your life? Said the other beetle
Yes, I've been thinking about it for a long time! But we can not continue, I have to try, you stay on the island, the food for voice will reach you, I cross to the mainland and if there is something good I promise that I will come back with more food to share with you. Said the adventurer
Okay, but please be very careful, do not take too much risk, if you see complicated you return! You are my best friend, I will be waiting for you. I answer the islander
Organized the trip, they gave a strong embrace of farewell and left flying towards the mainland, to start was very lucky, the whole trip was windy in favor and arrived ahead of schedule to their destination.
On landing he could see the richness of the land, there were hundreds of animals grazing, and many freshly baked excrement, they looked very tasty. Wow, how much food, with all this we spent a winter! Said the stranger
Without wasting time began to eat, had to quench hunger for many days, ate so much that could not walk, right there was made to take a nap.
When he woke up again he looked at the place. This place is paradise! It is a giant we can live thousands of beetles that the abundant food would never end, I never move from here! Said the ingrate beetle
He traveled all over the place looking for a good place to build his home, very happy began the work, very happy with the new opportunity that life was giving, was so happy that he did not remember his old friend, that poor beetle I was waiting on the tiny island.
Very happy he enjoyed his new fortune, enjoyed the aromas of fresh meadows and his great feasts with dung, the days passed became months and then year, winter inevitably came and with him the nostalgias, there remembered His old friend who had abandoned his fate.
What happened last with my dear friend? I have completely forgotten about him, I think I must visit him and offer his apologies!
When the spring arrived he made the decision to visit his old friend, after several hours of overflight he could reach the tiny island, looking for his companion found him much thinner than he had been.
Hello dear friend, here you are, I have been looking for you! I have arrived, here I am back!
When he heard that you were very happy, had recognized immediately, when turning his head could not believe what they saw his eyes, his friend was very fat and healthy, was very happy to see his dear friend in that state of good Health, but he remembered his promise and that made him a little sad that made his expression change as he spoke.
At last you remembered the poor! From your appearance I could judge that you have done very well and the truth is glad for you.
Why do you welcome me that way? Said the newly arrived beetle
You do not remember your promise, I stayed here and returned with food for both of you! Now I see that your welfare is more important than our friendship!
The traveler beetle knew that he had behaved badly, he came more with the intention of apologizing, but before this attack he got more pride and answered in an erroneous way.
It was never my fault! There was too much food there that only a fool would leave.
When the poor island beetle heard these words, he knew that there was no real friendship there.
It is true what you say, but if you were my true friend you would have come to find me and we would not live next to land, it is clear that there was never a real friendship here.
Without another word, he turned away from his supposed friend.
This story has no end since it does not tell us what happened afterwards with the beetles, if they became amigar or traveled both to land, that is left to their imagination, which if we can draw in conclusion is the following moral.
A good friend is always, no matter if good or bad moments, if life is getting difficult and you do not get your friend to come with your support and affection, chances are that this was not your true friend.
