Forest animals in danger

Forest animals in danger	play_circle pause_circle
The bear and the two travellers	play_circle pause_circle
Two men were travelling together through a forest.	play_circle pause_circle
One of the travellers was a timid man and fearful of danger.	play_circle pause_circle
"Have you ever seen wild animals in this forest?" he asked his friend.	play_circle pause_circle
"I heard a wolf last week," replied the other man.	play_circle pause_circle
Then he laughed and he told his companion not to worry. "I am a fearless fellow," he said.	play_circle pause_circle
Suddenly a bear met them on their path. The timid traveller froze in fear.	play_circle pause_circle
The other man left his friend at once and climbed up quickly into a tree.	play_circle pause_circle
He hid in the branches and watched the bear from his place of safety.	play_circle pause_circle
The timid traveller could not escape in time.	play_circle pause_circle
He knew that the bear was going to attack him.	play_circle pause_circle
He fell flat on the ground.	play_circle pause_circle
The bear came up and felt him with his snout.	play_circle pause_circle
It smelled him all over and sniffed in his ear.	play_circle pause_circle
The traveller held his breath.	play_circle pause_circle
He pretended to be dead as much as he could. People say that a bear will not touch a dead body.	play_circle pause_circle
Fortunately, the bear soon left him.	play_circle pause_circle
When the bear was completely gone, the other traveller came down from the tree.	play_circle pause_circle
He laughed and said, "What did the bear whisper in your ear?"	play_circle pause_circle
"He gave me this advice," the timid man replied. "Never travel with a friend who leaves you when there is danger."	play_circle pause_circle
Moral: When you have a problem, you find out how good your friend is.	play_circle pause_circle
