Once upon a lime there were lived two friends in a village. They professed great love for each other and had sworn to help each other, in the hour of need. One day they set out on a journey to a far off village, on the other side of a forest.
You can’t judge your friend without any denger .
When they reached in the thickest part of the forest, a big bear appeared from behind a tree. they were then helpless.
It was so near that they could not run away.

One of the friends al once jumped up a tree. He forgot his promise to help his friend and left him at the front of the beast. He did not thought about his friend.
The other friend had no lime to climb up a tree. the unfortunate friend fell on the ground, and holding his breath pretended to be dead. The bear sniffedat him for some time and went his way.
In here, if anyone want to be your friend ! test him first.
When the bear had disappeared, the friend on the tree climbed down. He shooked his friend and told him that the danger was over. Then he asked, “By the way, what did the bear say in your ear . The betrayed friend was really angry. He retorted, “The bear told me that a friend in need is a friend indeed.”
So, we must be very careful in choosing friends.
