两位旅行者
两个人沿着一条荒凉的(lonely)公路(road)前行，他们谈到如果遭遇一只熊(bear)或狼群(wolves)进攻该如何应付。
“不要害怕(fear)，”个头较大的那人说，“我可以保护咱们俩，不会有危险(danger)。在那片森林里没有什么好怕的，除了(except) 一头饥饿的熊之外。我倒是想碰到一只能成为我对手(match)的熊”。
正在那时，一只巨大的熊出现在公路上，朝这两个人赶来。
这两个人向一棵树跑去。之前讲话很勇敢(bravely)的那个人先跑到树下，然后爬到一个安全(safety)位置。个头较小的人现在要独自面对那只熊，于是他就躺在地上，仿佛(as if)死了(dead) 一样。当那只熊走近时，它闻了闻地上的那人，然后离开了．接着个头较大的人从树上下来，问，“那只熊在你耳朵(ear)边说什么呢？你们看起来像是老朋友一样。”“哦，”另一位回答道，“它告诉我决不要信任(trust)吹牛者”。
