Alice, my friend’s daughter, goes to an expensive private school where she has a friend, Jane, who is on a full scholarship at this school. Jane has 36 economic resources—her father has been dead for years and her mother works 37 a maid. Although her mother works very hard, she can 38 support the family. Jane is very bright and gifted at 39 and that’s how she has got the scholarship, which included a(n) 40 for things like lunch, school uniform and music lessons.
Alice became friends with Jane and would 41 talk to her at lunch. She did it that way in order to avoid the other kids 42 her.
On her birthday last month, she 43 her new friend to her birthday party, but Jane said she couldn’t come. Alice wanted her to be 44 so much that she 45 on her coming. Eventually, the girl said, “I don’t have any 46 clothes that I could wear at your birthday party.” After a brief pause, the girl remembered, “I have a 47 from my piano performance,” and asked, “Could I 48 a skirt from you?”
Alice was happy that her friend would be 49 to come and hurried home to ask her Mum 50 she could lend her friend one of her skirts. To her surprise, her Mum said, “No.” The daughter was very 51 and angrily said to her Mum, “ 52 I could, I would give my friend all my clothes.” The Mother didn’t understand why her daughter should have had such an outburst as she’s normally very well 53 .
Finally, Alice explained to her Mother her friend’s 54 . Her Mother immediately changed her mind and said, “Yes.” She also encouraged her daughter not to feel like she should secretly be friends with Jane but to feel proud of her 55 with her.
So the true friendship seeks to give, not to take; to help, not to be helped; to minister, not to be ministered unto.
