A BAD FRIEND...
A man came to his friend and asked if he could lend him money, and the friend wanted to know what he was planning to do with it. The man explained that he had a debt to another friend that needed to get his money back. Then his friend immediatly gave him the money and he hurried to go and pay his debt.
But when the man had left the friend started to cry. His wife came and said that he should not have lend the man the money if he now did have regrets about it. Then the man said: 'That is not why I am upset. I am crying because my friend had little money, and that I have not understood it. He was forced to lend money from someone else. And now he was forced to ask me of a loan, I should have asked him if he had enough money! Oh, what a bad friend I have been!.
