Two friends were travelling on the same road together when they came face to
face with a bear. One, in great fear, and without a thought of his companion, climbed into
a tree and hid. The other, seeing that single-handed he was no match for the bear, threw
himself on the ground and feigned death, for he had heard that a bear will not touch a
dead body.
The bear approached him, sniffing at his nose and ears, but the man, with great
courage, held his breath and kept still, and at leaning the bear, supposing him to be dead,
walked slowly ahead.
When the bear was well out of sight the first traveller came down from his tree
and asked what it was that the bear had said to him. “For”, said he, “I observed that he

Cloning of Animals
In the modern era, technology has developed to such a certain degree that
scientists are able to create new forms of life. One of them is cloning. The debate whether
cloning of animals should be allowed or not seems endless.
Those who agree with cloning of animals usually argue that the cells produced
from them can be used to stop animals from becoming extinct. They also add that cloning
has a purpose to produce high quality of cells.
Many species are becoming rarer and rarer. Scientists are concerned if they don’t
do something to save certain species, these animals will be extinct forever. For this
