They packed their knapsacks, lugged them over their shoulders and started out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One evening, while walking through the dense forest, they heard a bear growl. They were very scared and started to run away, but &amp;ldquo;Twick, twick&amp;rdquo;, they could hear the twigs breaking with each step the bear took towards them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Desperate, Hemant saw a low branch hanging from a tree. He quickly caught hold of the life-saving branch and climbed on top of the tree as soon as possible. He was so scared that he did not even look at his friend once.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
