"The Devoted Friend" is a story about a miller named Hans and his friend, a wealthy linnet named Hugh. Hans is a kind and hardworking man, always ready to help others and willing to do anything for his friend Hugh.
Hugh, on the other hand, is selfish and greedy, always taking advantage of Hans's kindness and generosity. He constantly asks for favors and money from Hans, promising to repay him but never actually doing so. Despite this, Hans remains devoted to his friend and continues to help him in any way he can.
As time goes on, Hans becomes increasingly poor and worn out from constantly helping Hugh. He sacrifices his own well-being for the sake of his friend, who continues to take advantage of him without a second thought.
In the end, when Hans is on his deathbed, Hugh finally offers to help him, but it is too little, too late. The story serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of true friendship and the consequences of selfishness and greed. The devoted friend is the one who gives without expecting anything in return, not the one who takes advantage of kindness for personal gain.
