The Bear

There is an expression, "Don't poke the bear". It means that if a bear is quiet and you poke him, he will be angry. If you poke him too much, he will attack. That is the nature of the bear. Humans are like the bear. If you have two bears in a den and someone comes to poke one of them, the bear will rise up and attack the poker. If that bear then pokes the other bear in the den, the second bear will be angered. What would happen if the second bear was more deadly than the first bear? If I was poking the first bear, I would poke only until it was awake and not until it was riled up. That's when things turn vicious.
