The Two Fellows And The Bear
The Two Fellows And The Bear
Two Fellows were travelling together through a wood, when a Bear rushed
out upon them. One of the travellers happened to be in front, and he seized
hold of the branch of a tree, and hid himself among the leaves. The other,
seeing no help for it, threw himself flat down upon the ground, with his face
in the dust. The Bear, coming up to him, put his muzzle close to his ear, and
sniffed and sniffed. But at last with a growl he shook his head and slouched
off, for bears will not touch dead meat. Then the fellow in the tree came down
to his comrade, and, laughing, said "What was it that Master Bruin whispered
to you?"
"He told me," said the other,
"Never Trust A Friend Who Deserts You At A Pinch."
