In a small mountain village, there lived two families who had been good friends for generations, as close as brothers and sisters. The elders often said that the two families were like one family, and no matter what difficulties they encountered, they would help and support each other. One year, the village suffered an unprecedented drought, and the crops failed, and the villagers were threatened with starvation. Although these two families also suffered severe losses, they did not give up hope. They took out the little food they had left, shared it with each other, and overcame the difficulties together. The village head was deeply moved by this scene and praised them for being as close as a family and being a role model for the whole village. Time passed, and the two families remained close. They worked together to make the village better and better. They used their actions to interpret what it means to be as close as a family, and became a beautiful story in the village.
