One day in May, Jack Smith was walking in Northern Oregon. It was a place he liked walking in and he knew it well. He was walking along a path when he saw a black bear,a female with her two babies. One was about a year old, the other was only a few months. Jack stopped to watch the bears.Because Jack walked along

the path regularly, the bear knew who he was. It wasn’t afraid and it didn’t try to attack him. While Jack was watching the bears, something large and heavy hit him from behind. It was a mountain lion! Jack tried to get away from the mountain lion. Then, while he was fighting it, the mother bear ran towards him.But the bear didn’t attack Jack, it attacked the mountain lion. The bear was much bigger than the mountain lion. While the mountain lion was attacking Jack, the bear stood on its

two back legs and pulled the mountain lion off Jack’s back. The mountain lion ran off into the trees. Then the bear went back onto its four feet and looked at Jack for a moment, before it walked back to look after its babies. Jack wasn’t badly hurt. He was surethe bear recognised him and wanted to save his life.
