The younger boy, who couldn't climb well, threw himself down on the ground and pretended to be dead. The bear came and circled around the body. He put his face close to that of the boy. He sniffed and stared and at last left.
The older boy came down the tree, ran to his friend and asked," Are you all right? What was the bear doing? He was near you for a long time."
