True Friends

Once upon a time, there were two close friends who were walking through
the forest together. They knew that anything dangerous can happen any
time in the forest. So they promised each other that they would always be
together in any case of danger.
Suddenly, they saw a large bear getting closer toward them. One of them
climbed a nearby tree at once. But unfortunately the other one did not
know how to climb up the tree. So being led by his common sense, he lay
down on the ground breathless and pretended to be a dead man.
The bear came near the one who was lying on the ground. It smelt in his
ears, and slowly left the place because the bears do not want to touch the
dead creatures. After that, the friend on the tree came down and asked his
friend that was on the ground, "Friend, what did the bear whisper into
your ears?" The other friend replied, "Just now the bear advised me not to
believe a false friend."
Moral of the Story- A true friend in need is a friend indeed.

Tiba-tiba, mereka melihat beruang besar sedang semakin mendekat ke
arah mereka. Salah satu dari mereka memanjat pohon terdekat seketika.
Tetapi sayangnya satu yang lainnya tidak tahu bagaimana cara untuk
memanjat pohon. Jadi terdorong oleh akal sehatnya, ia berbaring di
tanah, menahan napas, dan berpura-pura menjadi orang yang sudah
mati.

tersebut. Mencium di telinganya, dan perlahan-lahan meninggalkan
tempat karena beruang tidak ingin menyentuh makhluk yang sudah mati.

" Teman lain menjawab, "Tadi beruang itu menyarankan saya untuk tidak
mempercayai teman palsu."

Fox and A Cat

One day a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a
conceited creature, boasted how clever she was. 'Why, I know at least a
hundred tricks to get away from our mutual enemies, the dogs,' she said.
'I know only one trick to get away from dogs,' said the cat. 'You should
teach me some of yours!'
'Well, maybe some day, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of
the simpler ones,' replied the fox airily.
Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The
barking grew louder and louder - the dogs were coming in their direction!
At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well
out of reach of any dog. 'This is the trick I told you about, the only one I
know,' said the cat. 'Which one of your hundred tricks are you going to
use?'
The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use.
Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the

and

her
to
pieces.

a moment, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up
a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell
unintentionally into the water.

dropped it immediately into the water near the struggling ant. Then the
