098 Two Travelers and the Bear


Once upon a time, two young men were walking along the mountain trail. They were very close friends.


But, all of a sudden, a bear showed up. Shocked, the young men were looking for a place to hide. One fellow hid himself by climbing up a tree, but the other one was unable to run away.


When the bear pounced 1 upon him, the fellow who could not run away threw himself flat down upon the ground and pretended to be dead. The young man on the ground held his breath and stayed still. The bear, coming up to him, put his muzzle 2 close to the man, and sniffed 3. "He's dead. I don't eat dead meat."


The bear left the young man along and went away. After the bear was gone, the friend in the tree came down. Wiping away his cold sweat, the friend asked, "What did the bear say to you?"


"Oh, the bear told me", said the other, "Not to hang out with a friend who runs away when a risky 4 situation occurs."


After hearing him, the young man who climbed up the tree alone felt sorry for his behavior. Friends mean being there for each other even when danger comes.
