The grandfather's idea helped Mario find his 'real friends'. Mention any other way that would help you find out who are your 'real friends'.

Correct Answer

Real friends can be identified by observing how they behave during difficult times. When facing a problem, real friends will offer help and support rather than ignore or mock the situation.

Another way is to notice if they are happy for your successes and achievements, or if they feel jealous.

Real friends also keep promises, maintain confidentiality, and are honest even when the truth is difficult to hear.
