A friend in need is a friend indeed

Once upon a time, there were two good friends who lived in a small village. Their names were Rahim and Karim. They were neighbors and had known each other since childhood. They did everything together. They went to school together, played together in the fields, and shared their meals. Everyone in the village knew about their strong friendship. They always promised to help each other in any situation, whether good or bad.
One day, Rahim said to Karim, "My friend, I need to go to the next village to buy some important things for my family. The road goes through a deep and dark forest. I have heard that wild animals live there. I am a little scared. Will you come with me? We will go together and return together."
Karim immediately agreed. "Of course, my friend!" he said with a smile. "I am not scared of anything when I am with you. We will walk together and protect each other. It will be a fun adventure." So, the two friends set out on their journey. They packed some food and water and started walking towards the forest.
