Once upon a time, there was a bear named Ben who loved honey. He lived with his mother in a forest. One day, while looking for honey, he came across a fox. The fox asked Ben if he could help him find some honey, but Ben said that he needed all the honey for himself and his mother. The fox got angry and decided to play a trick on Ben.

The next day, the fox tricked Ben by telling him that there was a pot of honey in a tree that was too high for him to reach. Ben climbed the tree, but the fox pushed him down and took the pot of honey for himself.

Ben's father saw what had happened and told Ben that he needed to be more careful and not trust everyone. So, Ben and his father decided to trick the fox. They made a fake pot of honey and put it in a tree. When the fox came along, Ben and his father jumped out and scared the fox, taking back the real pot of honey.

From that day on, Ben learned to be more careful and always listen to his father's advice. The end.
