Title:

They packed their gear, including tents, sleeping bags, and plenty of food, and set off on their adventure.

After hiking for a few hours, they came across a beautiful waterfall and decided to set up camp nearby. As they were roasting marshmallows over the campfire that night, they heard rustling in the bushes.

“Hey. Did you hear that? Lisa exclaimed with fear in her voice.

Suddenly, a giant moose appeared out of nowhere, and the friends quickly scrambled to their tents to play it safe.

But things only got worse.

The next morning, while they were exploring the nearby woods, they stumbled upon a black bear that began chasing them.

The friends ran as fast as they could, but the bear was gaining on them.

In a panic, they came across a steep cliff and had nowhere to go, but then, Lisa had an idea. A really terrible idea! She remembered the waterfall they had seen earlier and suggested the wacky idea of jumping off the cliff and into the pool below.

Josh, Jerry, and Kelly thought she was nuts, but they didn’t have any other options.

“Let’s do it!” yelled Josh, so they all jumped, screaming at the top of their lungs. To their surprise, the water was deep enough to break their fall, and they were able to swim to safety.

After catching their breath, the friends realized that they had lost the bear and the moose. They were all relieved and decided to make the best of it and continue their camping trip.

They explored more of the beautiful mountain scenery and even saw some bighorn sheep grazing in the distance! At the end of their trip, they all agreed that it was a wild adventure, and they were glad they didn’t let the ear and moose spoil their fun.

So, would you have done anything differently if you had been with them on that trip? Think about it.
