Last weekend, my friends and I decided to go on a hike in the mountains. We had been planning it for weeks, and we were all excited to finally hit the trails. We started our hike at around 9 in the morning, and the weather was perfect.

As we were walking, we came across a sign that said "Beware of bears." We laughed it off, thinking it was just a joke. However, a few minutes later, we heard a strange noise coming from the bushes. We stopped and looked at each other in fear.

Suddenly, a bear appeared out of nowhere! We all screamed and started running, but one of my friends, who had been taking pictures, tripped and fell. The bear was getting closer and closer, and we thought we were done for.

Thankfully, a park ranger appeared out of nowhere and scared the bear away with a loud noise. We were all shaking with fear, but also relieved that we were safe. From that day on, we made sure to always take those "Beware of bears" signs seriously!
