Two friends and a bear

Thanks for reading my post. Please read this story and make corrections if you find any mistakes that you surely will.

____ Two friends lived in a village. They often bragged about their friendship. One day they set out for another village. On the way they passed through a forest. There they saw a bear coming towards them. One of them hurriedly climbed up a tree without caring for his friend. The other friend, who did not know how to climb up a tree, laid on the ground quite breathless like a dead man. He knew that bears don't eat dead.

____ After some time the bear came near him and smelt him. It thought him dead and went away. The selfish friend came down and asked his friend that what did the bear tell him in his ear. The other friend was a wise fellow. He said that the bear told him that a friend in need is a friend indeed. Since that he never talked to his selfish friend who left him alone in the hour of need.
