Two friends were out camping in the woods and had just finished setting up their tent when they heard a loud roar in the distance.
One friend turned to the other and said, "Do you think that was a bear?"
The other friend replied, "Don't be silly, it was probably just a squirrel or something."
Just then, a giant grizzly bear came crashing through the trees, roaring and snarling. The two friends quickly grabbed their things and ran as fast as they could, with the bear hot on their heels.
After what seemed like hours of running, they finally came to a clearing with a steep cliff at the edge. They had nowhere else to go, so they turned to face the bear, ready to make their last stand.
The first friend said, "I read somewhere that you should try to communicate with wild animals to show them you're not a threat. Maybe we should try talking to it?"
The second friend nodded, and they both nervously started talking to the bear, saying things like "Hey there, Mr. Bear, we're just lost campers and mean you no harm."
To their surprise, the bear stopped in its tracks and started to speak back. "Well, well, well, look what we have here. A couple of clumsy humans who thought they could outsmart me. You guys need to learn some wilderness survival skills."
The two friends were stunned, not only because the bear could talk, but also because it was giving them advice. The bear then continued, "Listen, you two need to stay calm and think rationally in situations like this. And for future reference, don't set up camp right in the middle of my territory."
The friends nodded in understanding, grateful for the bear's wisdom. As they slowly backed away, the bear smirked and said, "Oh, and by the way, next time you're in the woods, bring some snacks. I'm a big fan of s'mores."
And with that, the bear turned and lumbered back into the forest. The two friends looked at each other in disbelief before bursting into laughter at the absurdity of the situation. As they walked back to their car, they couldn't stop talking about the talking bear and how they would never forget that camping trip.
