Two men were traveling together when one of them saw a bear suddenly charging towards them. Without warning his friend he quickly climbed into a tree and hid himself in the branches.
The other, realizing the danger too late, fell flat on the ground and pretended to be dead as well as he could. The bear come up and prodded him with his snout, sniffing him all over. The man held his breath and soon the bear ambled away, for it is said that they will not touch a dead body.
When the other man was quite sure that the animal dad gone, he climbed down from the tree and walking over to his friend, asked him “Tell me, what did the bear whisper in your ear, my friend?” Well, he gave me this advice “never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger.”
This story teaches you that
“Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends”
