Two friends．Jack and Henry, were discussing where to spend their weekend．They often went hiking to the mountains or had picnics on the islands．

    “What about having a trip in the forest?”said Jack．”The fruit has been ripe(成熟的)and the fish in the small river are fat．It’s a good place to spend a weekend in autumn．I think．”

   “But I hear there’re some bears there．It’s too dangerous to go there．”

   “Don’t worry，”Jack said bravely(勇敢地)，“I’ll be able to protect you。”

    The next morning Jack and Henry were walking in the forest．The scenery(风景)was really beautiful there．The leaves turned red．all kinds of fruit could be seen everywhere．the birds were  singing happily in the trees and the fish were swimming in the clear water．The two friends had a good time there．

    Suddenly there was a noise nearby．Jack jumped up immediately．He looked around but saw nothing．He didn’t know what happened and looked worried．At that moment a woodcutter(樵夫)appeared on the path(小路)．He ran to the woodcutter and asked，“Excuse me，sir．What roared(咆哮)over there?”

    “Two bears．”

    “Where are they?”

    “About two hundred metres north of here．”
