I remember the time you told me you were hiking and ran into a park ranger.
“What’re those bells you’re wearing around your ankles,” he asked you.
“It’s to scare away bears,” you told him. “When they hear the tinkling, it gives them a heads up, and they’ll leave the area.”
The park ranger nodded his head thoughtfully.
“Is that so?” he commented, rubbing his chin.
He walked with you for a while, and the two of you came to an area of the trail which several wild animals had used as a bathroom. There were scattered piles of animal poop all around.
“Can you tell which dropping came from a bear?” he asked you.
“No,” you admitted. “Which one?”
The park ranger smiled.
“The one with the bells in it,” he said.
