ANSWER: The bear's advice was a lesson for every reader to learn. You shouldn't trust anyone at the risk of your life. Even when you think you both are committed with one goal, you should always watch your back, as friends can be disappointing during though times.
This is a story of two travellers, who agreed to stand by each other during though times while traveling. On they journey, a bear came out of the Forest, one traveler climbed the tree and hide himself in the leave. While the other traveller laid on the floor, to act like he's dead. The bear went round him; as bear's does not eat dead meat, their left.
From the story, this shows that the other traveller that climbed the tree for his own safety, doesn't care if the other traveller is safe.
