One day, two best friends were walking on a lonely and dangerous
path through a jungle. As the sun began to set, they grew afraid but
held on to each other. Suddenly, they saw a bear in their path. One of
the boys ran to the nearest tree and climbed it in a jiffy. The other boy
did not know how to climb the tree by himself, so he lay on the
ground, pretending to be dead. The bear approached the boy on the
ground and sniffed around his head. After appearing to whisper
something in the boy’s ear, the bear went on its way. The boy on the
tree climbed down and asked his friend what the bear had whispered
in his ear. He replied, “Do not trust friends who do not care for you.”
