Narrow Escape From Death
Nandan and Akhil were close friends. One day, they planned to go into
the nearby forest just for pleasure. When they were travelling, they suddenly
confronted a grizzly bear. Nandan jumped back and climbed a tree. But, Akhil
didn’t know how to climb trees. He suddenly remembered that he had read about
bears in his textbook and that bears don’t eat carcasses or deadbodies. He
immediately fell flat on the ground as dead. The bear came near him, smelled
him all over and left him unhurt. Nandan came down from the tree surprised. He
asked Akhil what the bear had whispered into his ears.
