The bear begins stalking Charles and Bob as they traverse the wildness. Forced to keep running and hiding from the bear, they are unable to rest or look for food. Charles decides that they must kill it in order to survive. The next day, the bear attacks them again, and they flee to a river. The bear wounds Bob but Charles distracts it, luring it away into a trap, where it collapses on a spear and dies. The men feast and celebrate afterwards.
