Brian smelled a skunk near his shelter. He cautiously looked outside and saw the skunk aiming its tail at him. To avoid being sprayed, Brian slowly tossed the skunk some meat, which it ate. Over the next few days, the skunk would come each morning, aim its tail at Brian until he fed it, then leave. One night, a bear attacked Brian in his shelter. The skunk sprayed the bear's eyes, saving Brian from the attack. Brian was grateful to the skunk and resolved to feed it more.
