True Friends
Many centuries ago, near Syracuse, a city
in Greece, there lived two friends. Their names were
Damon and Pythias. One day, Dionysius, the ruler of
Syracuse, accused Pythias of plotting against him. And
the ruler gave the order to kill Pythias.
Pythias begged Dionysius to give him three days to go
home and say goodbye to his family. Dionysius replied that
he would let Pythias go home if he had someone to stay in
his place. Damon agreed to help his friend Pythias. He also
offered to die for his friend if Pythias failed to return. Thus,
Pythias went back to his family.
Three days had passed. Dionysius was about to kill
Damon when Pythias returned. Dionysius, the ruler, saw
how one friend was ready to die for the other. He was
touched, and he did not wish to separate such loyal
friends. So he set both of them free.
