Ans:

The Bear and the Two Friends

Once upon a time, two friends were walking along the forest once. They knew that anything dangerous can 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. One of the friends at once climbed a nearby tree. But the other one did not know how to climb. So being led by his common sense, he lay down on the ground breathless, pretending to be a dead man.

The bear came near the man lying on the ground. It smelt in his ears, and slowly left the place because the bears do not touch the dead creatures. Now the friend on the tree came down and asked his friend on the ground, “Friend, what did the bear tell you into your ears?” The other friend replied, “The bear advised me not to believe a false friend.”

Moral: A true friend is the one who always supports and stands by you in any situation.

He called his sons and said to them, “My sons, I have buried treasure in my land. Dig the field and you’ll find it.” After their father’s death, his sons ran to the field at once. They worked hard and dug up all the land but they could not find the treasure.” Why should we leave the field all dug up?” said the sons among themselves, “We must sow some seeds here.” So they did so. In due course, golden corn came out. The boys were very happy. They now understood the real meaning of the hidden treasure their father spoke of.
