Hello students! Do you have friends? Who is your best friend? Let’s see what
happened when two friends were walking
through the forest.
Sonu and Sahil were walking through
the forest. They knew that anything
dangerous could happen to them at any
time in the forest. So they promised
each other that they would remain
united in any case of danger.
Suddenly, they saw a large bear
approaching them. Sonu at once
climbed a nearby tree. But Sahil did
not know how to climb. So being
led by his common sense, Sahil lay
down on the ground breathless, pretending to be a dead man. Sahil knew that
bears do not touch dead bodies. The bear came near the boy lying on the ground.
It sniffed inside his ears, and slowly left the place. Right after, Sonu came down
and asked Sahil, “What did the bear whisper into your ear?” Sahil replied,
“The bear advised me not to believe a false friend.”
