Bob: Don’t worry. I’ll protect you.
John: Really

John: I really heard something.
Bob: What did it sound like
John: I’m not sure. But it sounded like a Bear.
Bob: A Bear! That can’t be. There aren’t any bears around here.
John: I hope you are right.

John: Wait for me, Bob! I can’t run that fast! Help me, please! Bob doesn’t
help John. He climbs up a tree by himself.
John: I can’t climb up a tree. What shall I do Maybe I’ll pretend to be dead.
Bears don’t eat dead meat.

Hmm. Maybe he really is dead. He is not moving or breathing. But he is warm. I
don’t understand.

Bob: John! Are you okay
John: I think so. But why didn’t you help me
Bob: I was going to help, but the Bear just went away. Please forgive me. But
what did the Bear whisper to you
John: Do you really want to know
Bob: Yes, I’m really curious.
John: Well, he told me to stay away from you. A friend that runs away by
himself is not a true friend. I agree with him. You are not my true friend.
Good-bye.
