The other, who was slower, fell flat upon the ground, and made believe that he was dead. When the Bear came up to him and poked him with his nose, he held his breath; for it is said that this animal will not touch a dead man. The Bear went off, and the Man in the tree came down, and asked the other what the Bear had whispered.

"He told me," said the other, ' not to travel with friends who would desert you when danger came."
