Other Selections: The City at the Bottom of the Sea, Adventures of Nils, Selma Lagerlof; Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Jules Verne; The Book of theOcean, Earnest Ingersoll. Two men were going along a lonely road and talking of what they would do if attacked by robbers or wild beasts. "Never fear," said the larger one, "I can protect myself and you, too, so there will be no danger. I have fought three robbers at one time and mauled them until they cried 'enough'. Since that one encounter, robbers have left me entirely alone. It is not for nought, I tell you, these broad shoulders and brawny arms. "As for wild beasts, there is nothing in these woods for any man to fear, except a hungiy bear, and I should like to meet the bear that could be a match for me." 141 He had hardly spoken the last word when a huge bear appeared in the roadway and started for the travelers. The two men ran for a tree. The one who had spoken so bravely reached it first and climbed to safety. The smaller man, being left to face the bear alone, threw himself on the ground and lay as if dead. When the bear came up, he smelt of the man on the ground and went away. Then the boastful companion came down out of the tree and said: "What did the bear whisper in your ear? You seemed like old friends." "Oh," the other answered, " he told me never to trust the word of a coward or of a boaster."--La Fontaine. Helps To Study 1. Compare these two men. Which do you wish to imitate? Why? 2.
