The Bear and The Two Friends
Once, two friends were on a journey through a forest. As they entered the deeper part of the forest they were gripped with fear. They promised each other that they will stick together in case of any trouble and will help each other in whatever way they can.
All of a sudden they saw a large bear approaching them. They both got scared. Seeing the bear very near to them one of the friends quickly climbed up a nearby tall tree without bothering to help the other friend. The other friend didn’t know how to climb a tree.
Soon, he threw himself on the ground. He closed his eyes, held his breath and lay still as if he was not alive. He had somewhere heard that a bear doesn’t eat a dead man. This turned up to a fact. The bear came close to him and sniffed around his ear and head. Thinking that the boy was dead, the bear left the boy and walked away. When the bear was out of sight the friend from the tree climbed down the tree and asked: “ what did the bear whisper in your ear?”. The other friend replied “ The bear warned me to avoid the company of friends who leave their friends alone in times of danger”
