A friend in need is a friend indeed

There were two friends. They lived in a certain village. They promised that they would help each other at the time of danger. One day they were passing through a deep forest. Suddenly a bear came in front of them.
So, both of them were afraid and did not know what to do. One of the friends knew how to climb tree. He found a tree nearby and climbed on it. The other friend did not know how to climb the tree. He did not know what to do. All on a sudden, a thought came to this mind. He knew that the bear do not touch a dead animal. So, he laid down on the ground pretending a dead man.
The bear came near him, took smell of him and went away thinking him dead. When the bear went away, his friend climbed down from the tree and asked his friend what the bear told to his ear.
" The bear told me to avoid false friend. A friend in need is a friend indeed." Saying that, he want away.
