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 went back to his family. Three days had passing. 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 let both of them free.
