5 simple phrasal verbs with "look" 

एक सच्चा मित्र ही व्यक्ति के दुख में समय पर काम आता है। एक सच्चा मित्र अनमोल खजाना होता है। हर किसी को एक सच्चा मित्र मिल पाना कठिन होता है। जिन लोगों को सच्चे मित्र मिल जाते हैं वो वास्तव में बहुत भाग्यशाली होते हैं। सच्चा मित्र उस दवा के समान होता है जो अपने दोस्त को पीड़ा से बचाता है। इतना ही नहीं वह अपने मित्र को बुरे रास्ते से हटाकर अच्छे रास्ते की ओर ले जाता है और उसे पथभ्रष्ट होने से बचाता है।
