Once there were two friends. They used to live in a certain village. They were very intimate with each other. One day the two friends were walking through a jungle. They promised that they would help each other even at the time of danger. Suddenly, they saw that a bear was coming towards them. Both of them were afraid. One of them knew how to climb up a tree. Soon he climbed up a nearby tree without thinking about his friend. But the other friend was fatty and did not know how to climb up a tree. But he knew that a bear does not eat a dead body. So, he fell down on the ground and stopped breathing. And he was pretending like a dead person. The bear came near him, smelt his face, ears, and nose and thought him to be a dead man. So, without touching him, it left the place. The other friend who was on the tree saw everything. He got down from the tree, went to his friend, and asked him eagerly, “Oh! Dear, what did the bear whisper to your ear?” In reply, the friend said, “The bear advised me not to trust a friend who leaves his friend alone in the time of danger.”
