The Hunter, The Bears & Dinner

Submitted by: Jerelene Bolton
A man was once on a hiking trip walking through the woods when he heard a loud noise behind him. He looked around and didn't see anything so, he kept walking. Suddenly, he heard the noise again, only louder this time. When he looked behind him, he saw two grizzly bears running after him.
He turned around and started running for his life. He ran and ran and ran as fast as he could go. He turned around to look behind him and the bears were closer. So, he ran and ran and ran as fast as he could go. Then he turned around again to look behind him and the bears were almost on top of him.
So, he ran and ran and ran as fast as he could go. Then he turned around again to look behind him and he fell over a fallen log. He looked up and saw that the bears almost had him and he prayed this prayer: "Dear Lord, please make these bears Christian!!! Just make them Christian, Lord!!"
He looked up and the bears were standing there, leaning over him. The one bear looks over at the other bear and said, "Let us pray... Dear Lord, thank you for this food we are about to receive...!"
