Which choice BEST states the central message of this story? Habib and the Bear
Some kinds of help are not helpful
at all.
In the ancient land of Persia, there lived a man
named Habib. Habib raised figs to sell in the village,
and every year he planted a few more fig trees.
Over time, his grove grew too large for one man to
tend.
A bear should think twice before
killing a fly.
One morning, Habib was especially tired. Carrying a
basket of figs to market, he thought. "Today I must
find a helper to share my work."
At the market, everyone was happy to see Habib,
for he was a kind man who never found fault with
anyone. "Do you know someone I can hire to work
for me?" he asked each customer. But no one knew
a worker who needed a job.
Farmers who hire bears are
asking for trouble.
No one should ever ask for help
from others.
