Once there were two fast friends in a village. Their names were
Raju and Ramu. One day both of them set out on a journey.
They-promised to help each other in trouble. Their way lay through
a forest. As they were passing through a forest, they saw a big bear. The bear
was coming towards them. They were much frightened to see such a deadly sight.
Ramu at once climbed up a nearby tree to save his life. He was
unaware of his friend's safety. Raju did not know how to climb up a tree.
But he was wise and intelligent. He had heard that bears do not
touch the dead. So he lay on the ground, held his breath and appeared to be
dead. The bear came near him and sniffed the whole body of Raju. Thinking him
dead, he went away.
When the bear had gone quite far Raju got on his feet. Ramu also
came down the tree. He asked Raju to tell him what the bear had whispered in
his ear. Raju said that the bear had advised him to beware of false friends
like him.
Moral:
Beware of false friends or do not lose your wits.
