TWO FRIENDS AND A BEAR
Once two friends were passing through a forest. The forest was full of ferocious animals and the two friends were very much frightened. But they promised to stand by each other in danger. Suddenly they saw a bear coming towards them. One of them knew how to climb a tree. He at once climbed a tree and hid himself. The other man, finding no other alternative fell flat on the ground and held his breath, pretending to be dead. The bear came up to him and smelt his nose and ears and face, took him to be a dead man and left the place. When the bear was gone, the man on the tree came down and said, "Thank God that you are saved. But friend, I saw the bear put its mouth very close to your ear. Did it say anything to you?" The friend replied, "Yes, the bear told me not to trust a friend who left me in my danger to seck his own safety."
Moral: A friend in need is a friend indeed.
