There were two merchants. They did their business together. Once they had to pass a lonely forest. The forest was full of dangerous animals. The two merchants agreed to travel together and to stand by each other in case of danger from wild animals.
As they walked on, they saw a huge bear coming towards them. Both of them started shivering with fear. One merchant immediately climbed up the nearest tree without bothering about his friend. The other had no time to escape; so he lay down on the ground, and kept perfectly still. The bear came up to him and smelt him all over. The bear gave a loud grunt, and walked away.
When the bear had gone away, the merchant got up. In the mean time, the second merchant also came down from the tree. “That was a very clever trick you played, my friend”, he said. “The bear seemed to be whispering something in your ear. What did it say?”
