Description

This is a narration of a memorable hunting experience, in which the speaker Tano was attacked by a mother bear. Being unprepared for the attack, he was almost killed. By the time the bear gave up and left him it was already dark. Despite being unable to make a fire and not carrying a torch, Tano somehow managed to crawl back to his poyup (rest house near a field). After recounting this experience, Tano offers advice and suggestions to youngsters to be careful and be prepared when leaving for the mountains. It may be difficult to even get a drop of water sometimes, so one should carry at least a bottle of water, some matchboxes, and two torches. And if possible, one should never go alone to the mountains.
