“After studying his appearance as he stood at rest, I rushed toward him to frighten him, that I might study his gait in running. But, contrary to all I had heard about the shyness of bear, he did not run at all; and when I stopped short within a few steps of him, as he held his ground in a fighting attitude, my mistake was monstrously plain” (Muir 43).
Prompt:
John was mistaken about the behavior of bears, and he narrowly escaped being attacked by one. Have you (or has someone you know) ever been dangerously mistaken about something? Describe the situation. What did you expect? What actually happened?
