Story: The True Friend in Need Story:\nTwo close friends, Vijay and Rohit, were walking through a dense forest on their way to a neighboring village. Suddenly, they heard a low, threatening growl. To their horror, they spotted a huge bear emerging from the bushes and coming directly towards them. \nPanic struck both boys. Vijay, who knew how to climb trees, instantly scrambled up a tall tree to save himself, completely neglecting Rohit. Rohit, unfortunately, did not know how to climb trees. Thinking quickly under pressure, Rohit remembered a piece of wisdom: bears rarely touch dead creatures. He immediately collapsed onto the ground, kept his body completely motionless, and held his breath. \nThe bear walked up to Rohit, sniffed around his ears and face, and believed he was dead. Satisfied, the bear quietly walked back into the deep forest. Once the danger had passed, Vijay climbed down from the tree. Smiling awkwardly, he asked, "What did the bear whisper in your ear?"
