Once there were two fast friends in a village. Their names were Rahim and Salem. One day both of them set out on a journey. They promised to help each other is 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.
Rahim at once climbed up a nearby tree to save his life. He was unaware of his friend's safety. Salem did not know how to climb up a tree. But he was 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 Salem. Thinking him of dead, the bear went away.
When the bear had gone quite far, Salem got on his feet. Rahim also came down the tree. He asked Salem to tell him what the bear had whispered in his ear. Salem said that the bear had advised him to beware of false friends like him.
