Two friends, Bob and Jim, were out camping in the woods when they suddenly heard growling noises coming from behind some bushes. They slowly crept closer to investigate and were shocked to find a huge grizzly bear standing on its hind legs, looking directly at them.
Bob immediately panicked and started running away, but Jim calmly grabbed a handful of berries from a nearby bush and began to eat them. Bob couldn't believe his eyes and yelled, "Are you crazy? We need to run or we'll be bear food!"
Jim just grinned and replied, "Don't worry, I read in a survival guide that bears don't attack people who are calmly eating berries."
Bob was skeptical but decided to trust his friend. They both sat down and started munching on the berries as the bear slowly approached them. To their amazement, the bear stopped in its tracks, sat down, and started eating berries as well.
Bob was stunned and asked Jim, "How did you know that would work?"
Jim smirked and said, "Oh, it didn't. I just wanted to see what would happen if I offered a bear some berries. But hey, it worked out in the end, right?"
And that's how Bob and Jim discovered that sometimes, all it takes to survive a dangerous situation is a little bit of luck and a handful of berries.
