Summary

This quote highlights the deceptive nature of false friends. Similar to a shadow, they appear to be loyal and supportive when everything is going well (sunshine), but as soon as tough times arise (shade), they quickly disappear. It serves as a reminder that true friends stand by our side through both good and bad, while false friends only stick around for their own convenience and personal gain.
