One day a man was walking through the forest admiring the flowers, trees, and sounds of the forest. Then he heard a noise in the bushes not far away from where he was standing. Out came a large, hungry bear. The man turned and ran as fast as he could but the bear stayed close behind him. After a while he looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was almost on top of him. He tripped and fell to the ground. He turned and saw the bear getting ready to bring down a giant paw for a killing swing. "Oh God help me!" yelled the man. At that moment the bear froze, the forest went silent, and a light came down from the sky to land on the man.
From this light came a voice. "Why should I help you now when you have never believed in me before? I should let the bear eat you now." the voice said angrily. "If I save you will you believe in me?"
The man replied, "To begin believing in you now would be rather hypocritical of me. So why don't you make the bear Christian?"
"You have a point." answered the voice. "Let your request be granted." As this was said the forest sprang back to life. The bear's paw continued its downward swipe only to stop in front of the bear's chest as it brought its other paw up to meet it.
Then the bear placed its paws together, bowed its head, and said, "Bless us, oh Lord, for these our gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ, our Lord. Amen."
