Once, two friends set out on a journey. They promised to help each other in the time of need and never to leave each other. When they were crossing a forest, they saw a big bear at a distance coming towards them. One of them was very clever. Leaving hisfriend to help him to climb the tree but he turned a deaf ear to his requests. The bear was approaching nearer and nearer. The poor fellow was in a great danger. At last an idea came to his mind. He lay down on the ground pretending to be dead as he had heard that the bear does not eat the dead. Mean while the bear came to him, sniffed him and thinking him dead went his way. When the bear was out of sight the selfish friend came down the tree and asked his friend what the bear was whispering in his ear. The second friend replied that it whispered to him to never keep company with a selfish friend. Saying this he set out on his journey leaving the selfish friend alone.
