First heard in 2010. Retold in Bela Crkva in 2024.
There was a kid who hated carrying his school bag to school. So, he told his best friend, “If you’re really my best friend, ██████ █████ ██ ███ ███ ██.” ███ ██, ██ ██████ a bit of friendship tyranny, but also a way of figuring it out. So, that friend carried two bags to and from school to prove his loyalty and friendship, while the other managed to go without a bag. You can apply this too if you don’t feel like carrying your shopping bags home – just give them to someone and say, “If you’re my friend, here you go, carry the watermelon for me.”
