Hoca, onların sadakatini ve dostluğunu test etmek için onlara bir sır verir. ‘Ne kadar özel bir dostsunuz? Her birinize bir yarım kavanoz su veriyorum. Su, dostluğunuzun ne kadar derin olduğunu simgeliyor,’ der. Her biri suyu bir yere koyar. Hoca, sonrasında her birinin kavanozunu kontrol eder. Sonunda, üçünün de suyu eksik olduğunu görür ve onlara bir ders vermek ister. ‘Dostluğunuz, sizin gibi sağlam olmalı. Su nasıl doluyorsa, dostluk da o kadar dolu olmalı.’ Bu hikaye, dostluk ve güvenin değerini anlatmakta oldukça etkili bir örnek sunar.
