The Bear and the Two Travelers
Two men were traveling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path. One man climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other traveler came down from the tree, and asked his friend what it was the bear had whispered in his ear. "He gave me this advice," his companion replied. "Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger."
What is the theme of the story above?
Look out for yourself first, then defend your friends.
It is better to travel with a friend than alone.
Hiding from a bear will only make it angry.
Difficult situations test the extent of a friend's loyalties.
