ne day Duck was swimming in the pond. Bear came along because he was going on a swim too. Bear noticed Duck swimming in the pond.

Bear: Hi Duck.

Duck: Oh. Hi Bear.

Bear: Do you want to swim with me?

Duck: Sure!

Narrator: So they swam for about an hour, but Bear had to go home.They set up a time to swim next week. A few days later, Bear and Duck went for another swim. Then Bear was about to go home, but something stopped him. He heard someone yelling for help.

Duck: Help! Help!

Narrator: Bear looked back and saw Duck starting to drown. So he said:

Bear: Don't worry, Duck. I'll save you! (Bear saves Duck.)

Narrator: Duck thanked him.

Duck: Thanks, Bear. If you ever need any help, ask me.

Bear: Okay.

Narrator: A few months later Bear was getting caught in a net by a hunter. At the same time, Duck was in the same place in the woods. He saw Bear and heard that he was going to get trapped by a hunter.

Hunter: Oh good. There's a big bear that I can catch.

Duck: Hey, your shoe is untied.

Hunter: Huh???? (Looks down.)

Duck: Come on Bear!

Bear: Thanks for helping me, Duck!

Duck: Well, you helped me, and you're my friend, so it's only fair.

Bear and Duck: Thanks! (Shake hands.)

The moral of this story is: One good turn deserves another.
