A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED
One day, two friends were walking through the woods. Suddenly, they heard a loud
noise behind them. They stopped and turned around to see what it was.
"It's a bear!" cried one man.
He did not think about his friend, but instead quickly ran to the nearest tree. He
climbed up to the highest branch.
The other man was slower, and he suddenly found himself alone with the bear near
him.
He quickly lay down with his face to the ground and didn't move. He pretended to be
dead, because he was once told that a bear would not eat a dead body.
The bear came closer to the man. He walked all around him, then stopped and
lowered his head close to the man's ear. After a few minutes, the bear went away.
The "dead" man then sat up, and his friend came down from the tree. "What did
the bear say to you?" asked his friend jokingly.
The "dead" man thought about it, and answered, "The bear told me to find a better
friend than one who runs away-when there is trouble."
