The journey felt endless. How much longer could he keep following this giant animal? But somehow, the bear seemed to know the way, weaving through the trees with a calm confidence that David couldn’t match. His legs were sore, his mind clouded by exhaustion, but he kept moving, trusting the bear’s lead.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, something unexpected appeared in the distance. A road.
David’s heart skipped a beat as he staggered toward the familiar sight. The bear had led him to a paved road, where he could see headlights approaching in the distance. With a surge of energy, he flagged down a passing car.
As the driver pulled over and David climbed in, he glanced back toward the woods. The bear was standing at the edge of the trees, watching him intently. For a moment, it seemed as if the bear was acknowledging the end of their strange journey together. As the car pulled away, David saw the bear remain, standing still, as though saying goodbye.
David, overwhelmed with gratitude, watched the woods disappear behind him. He had been saved, not by his own strength, but by the most unlikely of guides—a bear that had risked everything to lead him out of the forest.
