Facebook faceoff
Jaspal Bhatti

ONCE upon a time there were two Facebook friends. They chatted every day on the Facebook. Once they set out on a journey with their laptops hung over their shoulders. They had to pass through a jungle. As they were passing through a dense jungle, they saw a bear coming towards them. One of the friends was quite selfish. He immediately climbed up a tree leaving other friend to his own fate.

Unfortunately, the other friend didn’t know how to climb a tree. He opened his Facebook account and updated his status. Many of his friends immediately wrote, "like, lol or love it". Some posted their own experiences of how they, too, had come face to face with a bull, leopard or even a lizard. The other Facebook friend, who was perched on the tree, also sent him a link on, "How to climb a tree."

By this time, the bear had reached the hapless fellow who was frantically searching for a solution for his life on the Internet. Finding the bear so close, he almost froze to death. The bear smelt the guy and thinking him to be dead, went away. The selfish friend climbed down the tree and asked the other fellow, "What did the bear say in your ear?" The good guy said the bear told him that a friend in need had nothing to do with the friends’ list on the Facebook.
