It stood up on its hind legs towering over Man with its ferocious roar and menacing claws. What was Man to do but fall to the ground and play dead? Bear was approximately 290kg. One swipe with its claws and Man's brains would be pulverized.
If only it wasn't so......
----------------------------------
Bear was just a little cub when Man found it. It was all alone without its mama. It was cute and adorable. And perfect as Man worked in the circus. The wheels in Man's brain began to turn. The 'ka-ching' sound reverberating in Man's brain. The glamour of being known as 'The Bear Man'! Man began training Bear to walk on its hind legs. Each day practicing, pushing Bear to walk. Never ceasing. The cracking of the whip and the never ending 'UP! UP!!!! UP!!!!!!!!!!!' Bear had to walk. And walk it had to.
And finally one day, Bear walked. Man was so blinded by the newly minted coins in his mind that Man did not realise that Bear was now a towering 6-foot-killing machine when it was up on its hind legs.
On that glamorous and glittering opening act of Bear, it roared and roared and walk and walked and pulled the whole tent down. There was chaos and never ending screaming. Man ran for his life. But Bear caught up with him within seconds.
Man immediately fell to the ground and played the dead. Bear the towering giant walked and walked and walked around Man but Man was too afraid to watch. Help finally came and the zinging of bullets pierced the encompassing forest and hit Bear in the heart. Bear crashed on Man and they both died.

And you can never tame Man.'
