I really like this short story because of the message and the meaning of it. I think that when you want to get a friend you need to test him first to see that if he is a good person or a bad person. But I think his companino was such a bad person.
Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends
A friend in need is a friend indeed
Fair-weather friend
That’s right, Soroosh. All these idioms and proverbs about real friendship reflect the central message and moral of this short story or fable, i.e. The Bear and the Two Travelers.
I truly agree with the moral of this short story that we can test the sincerity of a friendship in challenging moments of life. Although we must be conscious of what we expect from our friends, we must not ask for something illogical.
The traveler who climbed up the tree and left his friend high and dry in the face of trouble and danger was such a coward.
