In Alaska's National Forests, a tour guide was giving a talk to a group of tourists about hiking in grizzly bear
territory. "Most bear encounters occur when hikers, being extra quiet along the trails in hopes of viewing wildlife,
accidently stumble into bears. The resulting surprise can be catistrophic.

To avoid this, the guide suggested that each hiker wear tiny bells on their clothing to warn the bears of their
presence. "Also, he said, "be especially cautious when you see signs of bears in the area, especially if you see bear droppings,"

One tourist asked, "How do you identify bear droppings?"

"Oh, that's easy," the guide explained, "it's the ones with all the tiny little bells in them."
