Two Friends and a Bear
One evening two friends were passing through a jungle. They were very intimate with each other. There lived wild beasts in the jungle.
After walking for some time, they saw a bear coming towards them. Both of them got afraid. One of them knew how to climb up a tree. He climbed up a nearby tree and left his friend alone.
The other was fatty and did not know how to climb up a tree. He gave up the hope of his life. He knew that a bear does not touch a dead body. So he fell flat on the ground like a dead person. He stopped breathing also.
The bear came near him. It smelt him all over the body. The bear thought him to be a dead man. So it did not touch him. It went away slowly and gently.
The friend who was on the tree saw everything. He got down from the tree. He went to his friend and asked him eagerly, ‘Oh! Dear, what did the bear whisper to your ear?’
In reply the friend said, ‘It advised me not to trust a false friend.’ It said, ‘Don't mix with the friend who leaves you in time of danger. He's not a friend indeed.’
So we should bear in mind that ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed.’
