say, do not flee,” said the Grizzly bear. When the Buffalo bull backed prior to attack- 
ing the Grizzly bear, the latter thought that he was scared. But the Buffalo bull ap- 
proached the Grizzly bear, puffing a great deal, till he drew very near, when he rushed 
onhim. He sent the Grizzly bear flying through the air. When the Grizzly bear 
was returning to the ground, the Buffalo bull caught him on his horns and threw him 
into the air. When the Grizzly bear fell and lay on the ground, the Buffalo bull thrust 
at him with his horns, just missing him, but piercing the ground. The Grizzly bear 
crawled off by degrees, the Buffalo bull following him step by step and thrusting at 
him now and then, though without piercing him. This time, instead of attacking the 
Buffalo bull, the Grizzly bear plunged headlong over the cliff, landing in a thicket at 
the foot of the headland. The Buffalo bull rushed so fast that he could not stop him- 
self at the place where the Grizzly bear plunged over the cliff, but he continued along 
the edge of the cliff for some distance. And when he had thus gone, he stood with 
his tail partly raised (and bent downward). Then the Grizzly bear returned to the 
bank and peeped. ‘O, Buffalo bull! Let us be friends. We resemble in disposition,” 
said the Grizzly bear.
