Vijay and Raju were friends. On a holiday they went into a forest. They were enjoying the beauty of nature. Suddenly they saw a bear coming at them. They were frightened.
Raju who knew climbing trees ran up to a tree and climbed up quickly. He did not think of Vijay. Vijay did not know tree climbing.
Vijay thought for a second. He had heard animals do not prefer dead bodies. He fell to the ground and held his breath. The bear sniffed him and thought he was dead. So, he went away.
Raju asked Vijay," What did the bear whisper into your ears?"
Vijay replied, "The bear asked me to keep away from friends like you" and went on his way.
MORAL: A friend in need is a friend indeed.

【译文】两个朋友和熊
维杰和拉朱是朋友。 他们去一片森林度假。 他们享受着大自然的美。 突然他们看到一只熊向他们走来。 他俩吓坏了。
拉朱会爬树，便爬到了树上，他攀爬的速度非常快。 他没想到维杰。 维杰不会爬树。
维杰想了一下。 他之前听说动物不喜欢尸体。 他倒在地上，屏住呼吸。 熊嗅了嗅他，以为他已经死了。 所以，它就走了。
拉朱问维杰，“这只熊在你耳边低语什么了？”
维杰回答说：“熊让我远离像你这样的朋友”， 然后继续前行。
寓意：患难见真情。
