THE ADVICE OF A BEAR
THE ADVICE OF A BEAR
Two friends were traveling together, when a bear suddenly appeared on their path. One of them quickly climbed up a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, sensing that the bear will attack him, fell flat on the ground.
When the Bear came up to him, the animal felt him with his snout and smelt him all over. He held his breath and pretended the appearance of a dead man as much as he could. Thinking that it was just a dead body and he is not interested in it, the bear left the scene.
Knowing that the bear was finally gone, the other traveler descended from the tree and playfully inquired from his friend what it was that the bear had whispered into his ear.
His companion replied, “He gave me this advice:
Never travel with a friend who leaves You at the approach of a danger!
