Mother’s Love
The fishermen eventually reached the conclusion that it would be in everyone’s best interest to allow the bear cubs to remain in the presence of their mother on one of the riverbanks. They were aware that she would get to them as soon as she could, but they made the decision not to be present when it took place because they didn’t want to be surprised by what happened.
They had hardly finished placing the cubs when they became aware of some activity on the other side of the lake, where they had been looking for them. The mother bear dove headfirst into the water and immediately began swimming as quickly as she could in the direction of her cubs as soon as she hit the water.
