Two Friends on the Bear
Two friends were travelling together through a forest. One of them said, "If we meet any wild beast, I'll help you and you'll help me." "That's fine." said his friend. And they walked on. Suddenly a big bear ran out from behind a tree. The man who said he would help his friend at once got up a tree and hid himeself among the leaves. The other one could not climb trees. So he threw himself on the ground, closed his eyes and pretended to be dead. The bear came up and sneafed at the man's head. It put it's nose close to his mouth and ears.The man held his breath. The bear thought he was dead and walked away for bears never touch dead man.
When the bear was gone and all was safe, the man in the tree came down. With a smile he asked his friend, "What did the bear tell you when he put his nose so close to your ears?" "Well."said his friend, "The bear said,'Donot trust those who leave their friends the moment they get into difficulty."
