One day, while he was fishing peacefully by the river, this man had an extraordinary encounter. He saw a bear cub struggling in the water, on the verge of drowning. Without thinking twice, the fisherman jumped into the water to save the life of this little creature in distress. The poor bear cub was being carried away by the current. The fisherman described the bear cub as being about a month old when he found it.
It looked very exhausted and its eyes were full of terror. Perhaps the animal had been carried away by the current while it was trying to catch fish for food. But in the face of this distressing scene, the man could not abandon it. Acting like a true hero, he immediately went to its rescue. After the successful rescue, the bear cub quickly ran away into the bush, while the brave man continued fishing, relieved to have accomplished his good deed for the day. The next day, when the fisherman returned to the same spot, he was very surprised to see a large bear watching him intently and approaching him.
The mother bear showed her gratitude to the rescuer of her cub. Quite frightened, the man did not know how to react, especially when he noticed a pile of fish at his feet. She turned out to be the mother of the little bear cub he had saved from drowning the day before. She nodded in thanks before quietly walking away.
It was an adorable gesture that completely surprised the fisherman. This story teaches us that wild animals, like bears, can show impressive intelligence and remarkable gratitude that humans do not always expect.
