One evening when Peter is about to go out; his father stops him in the living room. He looks at Peter’s clothes very carefully. Then he says angrily, “Isn’t that one of my ties, Peter?”
“Yes, Father, it is,” answers Peter.
“And that shirt is mine, too.”
“Yes, that’s your, too.” answers Peter.
“And you’re wearing my belt!”
“Yes, I am, Father,” answers Peter, “You don’t want to your trousers to fall down, do you?”
He grabbed a knife out of a drawer. It said \"Surgical Stainless USA\" on the side of the blade. The blade was very thin and light. It had teeth, like a saw. The handle was a brown piece of cheap hollow plastic.
He had bought this knife about 20 years ago at a county fair. It was one of those knives that were advertised on TV. It could cut through a tomato can, and then cut easily and cleanly through a fresh tomato.
\"You never need to sharpen it. The sharp edge is guaranteed for life.\" That’s how they advertised it. And Pete, for once, couldn’t argue that the advertisers lied. This was a great knife.
But it was also a dangerous knife. A couple of years ago, Pete was careless. He was rapidly slicing a potato and the blade got his finger. The doctor put three stitches in Pete’s finger.
\"Next time, be more careful,\" the doctor said.
No kidding, Pete thought. He was so careful that he didn’t use the knife for almost a year.

But, all of a sudden, a bear showed up. Shocked, the young men were looking for a place to hide. One fellow hid himself by climbing up a tree, but the other one was unable to run away.
When the bear pounced upon him, the fellow who could not run away threw himself flat down upon the ground and pretended to be dead. The young man on the ground held his breath and stayed still. The bear, coming up to him, put his muzzle close to the man, and sniffed. \"Hes dead. I dont eat dead meat.\"
The bear left the young man along and went away. After the bear was gone, the friend in the tree came down. Wiping away his cold sweat, the friend asked, \"What did the bear say to you?\"
\"Oh, the bear told me\", said the other, \"Not to hang out with a friend who runs away when a risky situation occurs.\"
After hearing him, the young man who climbed up the tree alone felt sorry for his behavior. Friends mean being there for each other even when danger comes.
At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat.
However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent.

As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.

One day, the monkey saw fishermen throw a net over the river. He watched how the fishermen caught fish.
