Vijay and Raju were friends.<>
On a holiday they went walking into a forest, enjoying the beauty of nature.<>
Suddenly they saw a bear coming at them.<>
They became frightened.<>
Raju, who knew all about climbing trees, ran up to a tree and climbed up quickly.<>
He didn’t think of Vijay. Vijay had no idea how to climb the tree.<>
Vijay thought for a second.<>
He’d heard animals don’t prefer dead bodies, so he fell to the ground and held his breath.<>
The bear sniffed him and thought he was dead.<>
So, it went on its way.<>
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 of the story:<>
A friend in need is a friend indeed.<>
