Never ever make fun of your friends

One of my friends, Troy bought a Nike pair of shoes and some clothes. He thought they were
genuine Nike and he was fast to brag about his clothes. One of my friends Ben, wanted to check if
the logo is printed or embroidered. He checked the ticket with clothing info and the clothes were
written made in China. All of us knew the clothes were fake. But Troy was surprised because he
never thought he would have bought fake stuff. All my friends started laughing and Troy was sad,
but we realised that Troy was hurt and we apologized.

Ben is one of our richest friends and would never wear cheap clothing. Everything he wears is
branded and expensive. His mom was tired of him making fun of his friends and being a brat. She
wanted to teach him a lesson. So she went to the taxi rank to a guy that sells fake Adidas clothes.
Adidas is Ben’s favourite brand.

We had a get together one weekend and Ben was wearing Adidas sandals. We all wanted to see
them up close since they were limited editions. We were shocked to see that the sandals had nine
dots on the side instead od eleven dots. We all started laughing at Ben. Ben was hurt and
embarrassed.

When he got home he asked his mom where she got the sandals from and his mom told him that
she has bought the from a guy at the taxi rank. She said that she did this on purpose to teach him a
lesson about making fun of other people’s clothes.

From that day I decided not to ever make fun of other people and the way they dress.
