The Bear and the Gardener.

A Gardener, who lived alone, became discontented, and set out, one day,to seek a friend who would be a suitable companion. He had not gone farwhen he met a Bear, whom he invited to come and live with him. The Bearwas a very silly one, who was also discontented with living alone, so hewent home with the Gardener very willingly. The Gardener provided allthe food, and the only service he required of the Bear was to keep theflies off his face while he slept in the shade. One day, a fly insistedupon lighting on the Gardener's face, although he was brushed off againand again. The silly Bear finally became so enraged that he threw aheavy stone upon it. He killed the fly, but, alas! he also killed hisfriend.

Better have no friend at all than a foolish one.
