Taro and Ravi were friends. On a holiday they went into a forest. They were enjoying the beauty of nature. Suddenly they saw a bear coming at them. They were frightened.
Ravi who knew climbing trees ran up to a tree and climbed up quickly. He did not think of Taro. Taro did not know tree climbing.
Taro thought for a second. He had heard bear do not prefer dead bodies. He fell to the ground and held his breath. The bear sniffed him and thought he was dead. So, he went away.
Ravi asked Taro, "What did the bear whisper into your ears?”
Taro replied, "The bear asked me to keep away from friends like you" and went on his way.
MORAL : A friend in need is a friend indeed.
