Two friends were travelling together through a wood, when suddenly they came across a bear. The bear saw the travellers and rushed out upon them. One of the travellers was good at climbing trees. Without waiting for his friend, he caught hold of the branch of a nearby tree, and hid himself among the leaves. The other did not know what to do. He had heard that bears do not bother with dead animals. So, he threw himself flat down upon the ground, with his face in the dust. The bear, coming up to him, put its muzzle close to his ear, and sniffed and sniffed. But the man lay very quietly on the ground and did not even breathe. At last with a growl it shook its head and slouched off. Then the fellow in the tree came down to his comrade, and laughing, said, “What was it that Master Bruin whispered to you?” “He told me,” said the other, “Never trust a friend who deserts you at a pinch.” |
