  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Quotes 251. today we have another one by Ben

  • Franklin. And yeah I've done probably at least about ten by him in the past. So if

  • you like this quote, you should check out other ones that I've covered by famous

  • quotes by Ben Franklin. They're always pretty good. But anyway, let's look at

  • today's quote. Today's quote is " A false friend and a shadow attend only when

  • the Sun shines. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. This quote by Ben Franklin

  • is a warning to be aware of and be wary of. Aware of meaning you realize it. Know

  • it and be wary of it. You know be careful of it.

  • Be wary of fair-weathered friends. All right. A fairweather friend is a good noun phrase

  • in itself. That's a type of friend that you might think is not really a true

  • friend. They want to be your friend only when times are good. So that's what

  • he's saying. He's warning you about a fair-weather friend. Okay, A fair-weather

  • friend is the type of friend that will only be around and want to spend time

  • with you when things are going well. So basically it means when the sun is shining.

  • When things are going well. Everybody's happy. No problems. They are there. They

  • are still around. Okay, As soon as you have real problems and need their help, he or

  • she will abandon you. Disappear like hey what happened to you ?

  • You don't add to the phone anymore. You're gone. So long and make excuses. Well

  • if you get in touch with them, they will probably make a lot of excuses why

  • they're too busy. They can't come around. Blah blah blah.

  • Okay. Ben Franklin is letting you know that a fair-weather friend is a false friend.

  • He's not a true friend, not a real friend and just like a shadow only wants to be

  • around when the Sun shines or really can only be around when the Sun shines. Or

  • everything is good. So that's what he's telling you. So that a fair-weather

  • friend is like a shadow. They're only around

  • the sun is shining and when bad times come, when it rains, the shadow disappears.

  • Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for your time. Bye-

  • bye.
