The Bear and the Two Travelers

熊与两个旅行者

Two men were traveling together, when a Bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed1 himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt2 him all over, he held his breath, and feigned3 the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended4 from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. "He gave me this advice," his companion replied. "Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger."

两个平常非常要好的朋友一道上路。途中，突然遇到一头大熊，其中的一个立即闪电般地抢先爬上了树，躲了起来，而另一个眼见逃生无望，便灵机一动马上躺倒在地上，紧紧地屏住呼吸，假装死了。据说，熊从来不吃死人。熊走到他跟前，用鼻子在他脸上嗅了嗅，转身就走了。躲在树上的人下来后，问熊在他耳边说了些什么。那人委婉地回答说：“熊告诉我，今后千万注意，别和那些不能共患难的朋友一起同行。”
