The Bear, the Tall Man and the Short Man
熊，高个子和矮个子
One day,a short man saw a tall man on a bridge.
"Where are you going?"asked the tall man.
"I'm going to the city."answered the short man.
"I'm going to the city too."said the tall man."How are you going to get there?"
"I'm going to take this road."answered the short man.
"I know a way through the forest."said the tall man.
"But there are lots of bears in the forest."said the short man.
"We can go together."said the tall man.
So the short man and the tall man walked through the forest.
After some time,they heard a noise.
"What's that?"asked the short man.
"I think it's a bear."said the tall man.
"I'm afraid."said the short man.
"Don't worry."said the tall man."I know what to do."
Then they walked on,but again they heard a noise.
"I know that's a bear."said the short man.
"Don't worry."said the tall man."I know what to do."
Later on,they heard a noise again.
This time it was a roar.
"Look!I can see a bear."said the short man.
"So can I."said the tall man."But it doesn't see us."
"What can we do?"asked the short man.
"Let's climb this tree."said the man and he climbed quickly up into the tree.
But the short man couldn't climb the tree.
"Please help me."he said.
But the tall man was silent.The bear roared again.
"Oh,no!"thought the short man."What can I do?I can't run away or the bear will see me and
eat me."So he lay down.He was very still and very quiet.
After some time,the bear came.It saw the short man.It walked round him,but the short man
didn't move.The bear walked round the short man again,but he still didn't move.Finally,the
bear went away.The short man looked up into the tree.The tall man came down.
"What happened?"he asked."That bear walked round you."
"Yes,it did.And it said something to me."answered the short man.
"What did it say?"asked the tall man.
"Well."answered the short man."the bear said,"He is a very tall man but he is not very
good friend.A good friend will help you when you are in trouble!""
