There were two friends. They lived in a certain village. They promised that they would help each other at the time of danger. One day they were passing through a deep forest. Suddenly a bear came in front of them. So both of them were afraid and and were at a loss what to do. One of them knew how to climb a tree. He at once climbed a tree and hid himself. The other man, finding no alternative, fell on the ground and held his breath pretending to be dead. The bear came up to him and smelt his nose, ears and face, took him to be a dead man and left the place. When the bear was gone, the man in 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 danger to seek his own safety.
