　　Two friends want to England for a holiday one year, and beautiful spring morning they want for a walk in the country. They walked along a small road for a few miles, and then they climbed over a gate and walked across the green fields. There are cows everywhere, but they were eating grass and did not look at the men.

　　They were crossing a big field of beautiful grass when an angry bull came out from behind some small trees and ran towards them. One of the men saw it first and said to his friend, “George, there’s an angry bull behind us. Let's  run to that tree and climb it.” Then he ran and quickly climbed the tree.

　　But his friend was slower than him and did not get to the tree quickly enough, so he run to a big hole in the ground and jumped into that instead.

　　The bull was running very fast, and it passed the hole. Then the man got out of it quickly and began to run towards the fence round the field, but the bull stopped, turned round, saw the man run at him angrily again. The man looked round, saw it coming, ran back to the hole and jumped into it once more before the bull reached it.

　　As soon as the bull passed the hole, the man  got of it again and run towards the other side of the field, but the bull saw him, turned round and run after him once more.

　　This happened several times, and at last the man in the tree shouted to his friend while he was in the hole, “Why don’t you stay in that hole until the bull gets tired of running after you and goes away, George? It won’t go on forever. I’m going to stay in this tree until it’s safe to come down again.”

　　“It’s all right for you in that tree, Peter,” his friend answered angrily, “but this isn’t empty. There’s bear at the bottom of it!”
