“Wolf Brother, I am looking for a friend. Will you be my friend?”
“A dog can bring me no harm. I won’t mind having him as a friend.” At night both of them slept under a tree. But how could the dog sleep? As per his nature, he would wake up every now and then
and bark.
The wolf felt disturbed. Scolding the dog, he howled, “Why are you making so much noise? Don’t you feel sleepy? What if a bear comes here on hearing your noise? He will gladly eat both of
us.” The dog kept quiet on hearing this.

“This wolf is also not very brave. I think it is better to make the bear my friend,” decided the dog. Leaving the sleeping wolf, the dog began to
search for a bear. The next day, the dog met a bear. The dog talked to him politely and affectionately. “Bear
brother, would you like to be my friend?”
The bear thought, “A dog is a weak animal. I should not have any problems in accepting him as my friend.” At night, they went off to sleep but the dog was not. He would begin to bark time and again. The bear could not sleep properly.
