cbay is spot on in my humble opinion, except that I don't think there really was a brother.
I actually get the impression the story about Bear's "brother" is misdirection... I think Bear intends to throw itself from the cliff to provide food for Fox, but knows Fox won't eat him. So he gives him this story about how his brother (who looks "just like me") is at the bottom, and will "fill your cup for days".
"I'll stay up here and rest" is, I think, a white lie intended to cover for Bear long enough for it to make its sacrifice for Fox.
I was about to reference that same interview.
