VI.b. The Three Friends.
Z. ix., L. p. 95, C. 438.
A man once had three friends, two of whom he loaded with gifts and friendly acts; the third he neglected. One day he was seized and brought before the King, who ordered him to find security for a great sum. He went to his first friend, who told him he could only give him a single garment. And the second said he would accompany him a little way to the King, but then had to return to his own house. As a last resort he went to the third friend, and begged him to forgive his negligence and help him in his strait. But the third friend received him kindly, and said he would go before to the King and try and rescue him out of the hands of his enemies.
The first friend is wealth; the second, wife and children; the third, good works.
