Everyone has a number of acquaintances, but no one has many friends, for true friendship is not common, and there are many people who seem to be incapable of it. For a friendship to be close and lasting, both the friends must have some very special qualities.
The first quality is unselfishness. A person who is concerned only with his own interests and feelings cannot be a true friend. Friendship is a two-sided affair; it lives by give-and-take, and no friendship can last lone which is all give on one side and all take on the other.
Constancy is the second quality. Some people do not seem to be constant. They take up an interest with enthusiasm, but they are soon tired of it and feel the attraction of some new object. Such changeable and uncertain people are incapable of a lifelong friendship.
Loyalty is the third quality. Two friends must be loyal to each other, and they must know each other so well that there can be no suspicions between them. We do not think much of people who readily believe rumours and gossip about their friends. Those who are easily influenced by rumours can never be good friends.
Trust is perhaps the fourth quality. There must be mutual trust between friends, so that each can feel safe when telling the other his or her secrets. There are people who cannot keep a secret, either of their own or of others’. Such people will never keep a friend long.
Lastly, there must be a perfect sympathy between friends - sympathy with each other’s aims, likes, joys, sorrows, pursuits and pleasures. Where such mutual sympathy does not exist, friendship is impossible.

Life in the city
Life in the city is full of activity. Early in the morning hundreds of people rush out of their homes
in the manner ants do when their nest is broken. Soon the streets are full of traffic. Shops and
offices open, students flock to their schools and the day's work begins. The city now throb with
activity, and it is full of noise. Hundreds of sight-seers, tourists and others visit many places of
interest in the city while businessmen from various parts of the world arrive to transact business.
Then towards evening, the offices and day schools begin to close. Many of the shops too close.
There is now a rush for buses and other means of transport. Everyone seems to be in a hurry to
reach home. As a result of this rush, many accidents occur. One who has not been to the city
before finds it hard to move about at this time. Soon, however, there is almost no activity in
several parts of the city. These parts are usually the business centres. With the coming of night,
another kind of actịvity begins. The streets are now full of colorful lights. The air is cooler and
life becomes more leisurely. People now seek entertainment. Many visit the cinemas, parks and
clubs, while others remain indoors to watch television or listen to the radio. Some visit friends
and relatives and some spend their time reading books and magazines. Those who are interested
in politics discuss the latest political developments. At the same time, hundreds of crimes are
committed. Thieves and robbers who wait for the coming of night become active, and misfortune
descends upon many. For the greed of a few, many are killed, and some live in constant fear. To
bring criminals to justice, the officers of the law are always on the move.
Workers and others who seek advancement in their careers attend educational institutions which
are open till late in the night. Hundreds of them sit for various examinations every year. The
facilities and opportunities that the people in the city have to further their studies and increase
their knowledge of human affairs are indeed many. As a result, the people of the city are usually
better informed than those of the village, where even a newspaper is sometimes difficult to get.
The city could, therefore, be described as a place of ceaseless activity. Here, the drama of life is
enacted every day.
