. of the friends knew how to climb tree. So quickly climbed a nearby tree. But the
other one did not know how to climb. So being led by common sense, lay down
on the ground breathless, pretending to be a dead man. The bear came near .
Smelt in ears, and slowly left the place. Because the bears do not touch the dead
creatures. Now the friend on the tree came down and asked friend on the ground, “friend ,
,did the bear tell into ears? replied, “the bear advised not to
believe a false friend.”
