One summer morning in 1984, a fisherman noticed a small bear cub that had fallen into the river and was carried away by the current. The man without hesitation went to the middle of the threshold and pulled the bear cub to the ground.
The fisherman considered the incident settled, but the next day a bear swam up to him.
The fisherman remembered that the bite that day was very weak. The cub, apparently, stood upstream and tried to catch fish, then fell into the river.
The bear appeared to be a little over a month old. He obviously couldn’t face the course, so the man moved to the very rapids, it was much easier for him to stay in the river than the cub.
Standing on a solid bank, the little one immediately ran into the underbrush, and the fisherman shrugged and gathered his gear.
The next morning he returned to roughly the same place, but after a few hours he realized someone was watching him.
He turned his head and saw a big bear a few steps away. He still didn’t understand how to react to this, when he suddenly saw a whole mountain of fish at his feet.
After standing for a while, the bear shook its head and walked away, leaving its catch in thanks for saving its cub.
Apparently, wild animals are a lot smarter than people think. At least the feeling of gratitude is not foreign to them, as we have understood.
