A young man had been worried for a few days because he had failed his best friend several times and noticed that little by little they were distancing themselves.
Since she didn't quite know what to do, she decided to go and ask her mother for advice. He took the moment of breakfast to tell him everything that had happened.
—Yes, mom, the other day I stayed with him and I forgot to go, he waited almost an hour for me until he left. On another occasion I also forgot to go to an act that was very important to him ...
"Well, it's normal that I'm upset with you," replied the mother.
—Yes, but I've always thought that our friendship was stronger than all that, that all those little things happened and the next day everything was back to how it was before.
-Do you really think that?
—Yes, of course, we are lifelong friends. These things happen, and the next day everything should be the same.
At that moment the mother went to the kitchen, took a plate and gave it to her son.
"Here, take it and throw it on the floor."
-Than? He replied puzzled.
"Take the plate and throw it on the floor."
The son, seeing the seriousness of his mother, took the plate and threw it on the floor. And this one broke into several pieces.
—And now take those pieces, stick them and try to make the plate look like before.
