“You can go,” said the officer,“but I don't think it will be worth it.Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away.”
The officer's words didn't matter,and the soldier went anyway.He managed to reach his friend,hoisted him onto his shoulder,and brought him back to their company's trench.As the two of them tumbled in together to the bottom of the trench,the officer checked the wounded soldier,then looked kindly at his friend.
“I told you it wouldn't be worth it,”he said.“Your friend is dead,and you are greatly wounded.”
“It was worth it,sir,”the soldier said.
“What do you mean ,‘worth it’?”responded the officer.“Your friend is dead!”
“Yes,sir,”the soldier answered.“But it was worth it because when I got to him,he was still alive,and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say proudly,‘Jim,I knew you'd come.’”
Many a time in life,whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it.Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in life.May each and every one of you be blessed with the company of true friends.
1.Why didn't the officer think it worthwhile for the soldier to bring his friend back?
A.Because he thought the soldier couldn't get to the “No Man's Land.”
