    In a small, tranquil village, two friends lived harmoniously. They shared joy and sorrow, dreams and fears. One day, they decided to seek their fortune in the bustling city. Eager to start their new life, they embarked on their journey with an air of excitement and a touch of trepidation.

    On their way to the city, they had to cross a dense, eerie forest. The forest was known for its wild animals and treacherous paths. Despite their fear, they mustered courage and entered the forest.

    After a few hours of walking, they decided to rest under a towering tree. The cool shade of the tree was a relief from the harsh sun. They sat there, sharing stories and dreams about their future in the city.

    Suddenly, a rustling sound emerged from the bushes behind them. Their hearts pounded as a huge bear appeared. The sight of the bear filled them with terror.

    Friend 1, agile and swift, wasted no time. He scrambled up the tree, seeking refuge amongst the branches. He was safe, but he could do nothing but watch his friend left alone on the ground.

    Friend 2, who didn't know how to climb trees, was left in the lurch. He quickly remembered a tale he'd heard about bears not harming the dead. Acting on this, he lay flat on the ground, feigning death.

    The bear lumbered over to him, sniffing curiously. It prodded him gently with its paw, but Friend 2 did not move a muscle. Convinced that he was dead, the bear left him alone and wandered off into the forest.

    Seeing the bear leave, Friend 1 climbed down from the tree. His heart was still racing from the encounter, but he was relieved to see his friend unharmed. He asked his friend about the bear's curious behavior.

    Friend 2 sat up, brushing off the dirt from his clothes. He looked at his friend and said that the bear had whispered something in his ear. Intrigued, Friend 1 asked what the bear had said.

    Friend 2, with a solemn expression, replied that the bear had advised him not to trust a selfish friend. The words hung heavy in the air. The jubilant atmosphere of the journey was replaced by a gloomy silence.
