Abstract: There were two friends who were travelling together on the same road. Suddenly, they met a bear, and they were greatly frightened. One of them, without thinking of his companion, climbed a tree and hid himself. The other, seeing that he had no chance to make his escape, threw himself upon the ground and pretended to be dead. He knew that a bear would not touch a dead person. The friend in this story is certainly not the kind you would care to be with. Why? If he were faithful, no matter what might have happened, he would never have deserted his friend. If you have a friend who trusts you, never betray his trust for anything.
