The Bear and the Two Travelers. Two men were traveling together when they saw a bear.One of them quickly climbed to a tree. The other man was not quick enough, so he just lay on the ground pretending to be dead. The Bear sniffed all over him, decided it was a dead body, so the bear went away. The man on the tree got down now, asked his friend on the ground jokingly:” What did the bear Whisper in your ears?” The man answered :” The bear gave me a good advice: Never go out with friends who will desert you in danger.”

　　熊和两个旅人
　　两个人一起旅行，路上碰到一只熊。一个人迅速爬到了树上，另外一个躲闪不及，只好躺在地上装死。熊用鼻子嗅遍他全身，认定他是个死人，便走开了。树上的同伴这时爬下来笑嘻嘻地问：“熊在你耳边说些什么？”他回答说：“熊给我一个忠告：别再和临危相弃的朋友一同出去。”
