Two
friends and a bear
There were two friends. They lived in a
certain village. They promised that they would help each other at the time of
danger. One day, they were passing through a deep forest. Suddenly, a bear came
in front of them. So, both of them were afraid and one of the friends at once
climbed up a tree. The other friend did not know how to climb a tree. He was
sure that the bear would tear him into pieces. Suddenly, he remembered that the
bear does not eat a dead animal. So, he lay down on the ground just like a dead
man. The bear came and smelt his body. The friend stopped breathing. The bear thought
that he was dead and went away. Then, the first friend got down from the tree,
came to the second friend and said to the first friend, “What did the bear
whisper to you?” The other friend said, “The bear told me not to keep a friend
who leaves his friend in danger.” Moral of the story: “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
