THE TWO FRIENDS AND THE BEAR 

Sheela and Jhansi were friends. One day they were travelling through a forest. Suddenly they came across a bear. The bear saw them and rushed out upon them. Sheela was good at climbing trees. Without waiting for her friend, she caught hold of a branch of a nearby tree, climbed it, and hid herself among the leaves.

Jhansi did not know what to do. She had heard that bears do not harm dead animals. So, she threw herself flat down upon the ground.The bear, coming up to her, put its muzzle close to her ear and sniffed and sniffed. But Jhansi lay very quietly and did not even breathe. At last with a growl it shook its head and went away. 

Sheela climbed down the tree slowly. She asked Jhansi, “What was it that Mr. Bear whispered to you?” “He told me,” said Jhansi, “Never trust a friend who deserts you at a pinch.”

Answer the following questions orally.

1. What is the animal mentioned in the story?

2. Who climbed the tree?

3. Did Sheela take Jhansi onto the tree along with her?

4. What did Jhansi do to save herself from the bear?
