A feline and ursine were sitting by a lake shore, spinning tales of their pasts while they were fishing. The two hadn’t been there for much more than an hour before the cat had a bite on his line that nearly pulled him out of his chair. The struggle to reel in the catch lasted a few long minutes, before the cat finally held up a trout half as long as his arm…
The b ear was amused by the struggle and decided to show off, just a little. He waded into the lake, moving into the clear water until it was nearly chest deep. Then, he waited. When the cat asked about it, the bear just shushed him. Fifteen awkward, silent minutes passed before the bear’s arms moved, taking hold of something beneath the surface. “Catch this,” he said, before tossing a fish thrice the size of the last one at his fishing buddy. The cat yowled as he was knocked to the ground atop his now-collapsed chair.
They both would laugh about it later, but in the moment, only the bear was laughing as he climbed out of the water, looking at the cat flailing beneath the flopping fish. They’d both eat well that night.
