Historical Period

The Story was published

in 1882, takes place in
Paris during the Franco-
Prussian War, when the
city was under siege in
1870.
Two Friends

The story began when Mr.

Morisson a watchmaker and his
friend Mr, sauvage met again
after a long time without seeing
each other, It was a bad time
because of the war, there was
hunger and nothing to eat, so
they remembered those old
days when a Sunday they met
fishing and where they became
good friends because they had
a lot of the things in common.
 Two Friends

They went to have a drink in a cafe and then

After a few drinks they decided to go fishing,
because the weather was good. Mr. Morissot
said he knew the colonel and that there would
be no problems to go to the island Marante,
where they used to fishing, so the colonel
gave them a pass.
 Two friends

while they were fishing

caught them the enemy
soldiers saying that they were
spy, then they told them that
if they gave the clue to enter
the city they would live, but
they decided to keep quiet
and they were executed.
 Message and Learning

The main message of the story is the loyalty

to friends and country. They shown that their
friendship was in the good and bad times.

I learned that we have to value friends all

times and also our country, we have to
maintain our identity and freedom and teach
our children to continue with our values.
 Opinión

Nowadays, finding true friends is almost

impossible and even more those who love
their country to the point of dying for it, it is
necessary to think more about us and not
about my own benefit, because a life without
good friends and without a country is better
not to be alive.
