Story: One day Bill Morris went out hunting in the woods just outside Prince George in British Columbia, Canada.

It had been a slow day and he hadn’t found any game to shoot.

Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him.

He whirled around and saw two ferocious looking bears coming towards him.

He quickly raised his rifle to his shoulder, took aim and pulled the trigger.

Click.

Nothing - the rifle misfired.

He reloaded and fired again

Click… click… click.

Again, nothing - the gun just wasn’t working.

By this time, the bears were almost on top of him.

In desperation, he threw down his rifle and ran.

But the faster he ran, the closer the bears got.

Finally Bill came to the edge of a cliff.

As there was nowhere to go, he dropped to his knees and began to pray.

“O Lord, I pray that you make these bears Christian bears.”

As Bill looked up, he was surprised to see the bears kneeling just a few feet away from him.

And as he listened, he heard one bear pray;

“For what we are about to receive, may the Good Lord make us truly thankful. Amen”
