THE MOUNTAIN BEAR AND THE HUNTER

THE MOUNTAIN BEAR AND THE HUNTER
A very short story
by
Angel Marckwordt

CHAPTER ONE

THE DEEP FOREST
I held my hand up high towards my brow, somewhat puzzled to discover I was just standing there staring at the early morning sun light.

I had absolutely no clue or recollection of why I was looking straight at the sun. I took a deep breath and finally covered my eyes with the palm of my hand and pinched
both eye balls with my thumb and forefingers. Then, I looked back and the world around me began slowly to take shape by the beautiful rays of sunshine penetrating through the branches of this deep, deep forest meadow.

I stood there trying to remember where I had been or what I had been doing a few minutes, or even a life time prior. The thought and the actions of such were on the tip of my tongue and for the life of me I could not remember anything. It felt as though I was experiencing a state of temporary amnesia. So, I spent a few more seconds trying to recall something; anything that would give me a clue about where I was, or who I was... or what it is I was supposed to be doing there... When I felt my beard with the tips of my fingers, I looked down and noticed the heavy brown leather belt hanging from my waist, the bluish furry coat on my torso keeping me warm, my strong arms baring leather bands at the wrists and the hatchet and large hunting knife hanging from my belt. Still no clue...

And then, when I could not remember, I gave up thinking anymore about the subject and went back to doing what I always did... pick up the honey with the container I was already holding in my other hand.

I love everything about raw honey,,,. I thought. From the taste and thick consistency, its smooth healing properties, to the sweet and flavorful sensation it gives me as it coats my throat on the way to my tummy. "What a delight!!" I expressed thinking out loud and thanking nature and my little forest friends for the wonderful supply of raw honey; nourishment to my body and source of peace to my soul.

I started singing and humming a happy forest song while I worked on transferring the barrels of honey into tubs made of tree trunks. The sounds of the river with its tasteless clear water made my mouth water even more. Mmmm I love a gulp of clear-cold and fresh-delicious water when followed by spoon fulls of honey. Then, I began recalling a few facts about honey. How someone -a man of science; had found jars of honey from ancient Egypt. And the raw honey was still good to eat. "Honey is the only food in the whole world that does not go bad..." another thought interrupted. And kept on humming the forest song.

When I was done with the work I stood by the small house by the tree and waited, and waited... And then! there she was... a HUGE and magnificent mountain bear with two of her cubs by her side. Delighted, I approached the bunch and without inherent fear the mother bear charged at me. My useless hesitated lasted a second, I was already too late, by the time I reacted the mother bear with her massive arms was hugging and trashing me around like a rag doll; a few happy grunts escaped from my throat as her big thick hair tickled my nose. The cubs emulated their mother and while she went for the honey tubs, the cubs did not let me get up. They were so excited to see me and I to see them too.

A world of solitude is a universe of wonders: Later during the day when we all had filled our appetite for honey and nuts and raisins and berries and fruits washing them down with gulps of clear fresh delicious cold water from the river nearby. I left mother bear and her two cubs to enjoy a restful nap and walked away from the cabin and through the thick damped forest towards a destination unknown at the time.

THE MARKETPLACE AND FESTIVAL
A few moments, or hours, or days later... I arrived at a clearing. From up in the mountains where I had come from, the clearing seemed an opening to heaven. The small pebble stone path carved from river rocks represented the beginning of the road to civilization. Below, the path opened up wide into one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. The chain of of distant mountains in the horizon were a light blue, while the closer mountain peaks were a darker one. I had no recollection of ever seeing the lands that laid after them. But I was curious to know what was beyond them. I looked down to step onto the road made of pebbles leading to the valley below. The day was so beautiful and I could not wait to arrive at the center of the valley.

I kept a steady pace on my way down; I had with me, two containers full with wild flower honey. When I approached the outskirts of this gathering place all the children rushed me too. They all knew me, happily and quickly they walked around me. "Good Morning littles" I said with a strong voice. "You seek the pleasures and sweetness of the forest. But before anyone of you can have a taste -I paused for effect. We must all sing!" They all cheered in laughter. "Who wants to go first?" I asked. Me!, me-es! exploded all around. And with a thundering voice I began the happiest of songs:

"We all have been waiting for
the sweetest taste of the forest
the bounty, let us have, at least just a bite
make a circle, happy faces all around
Come gather, let us not miss this great delight

We want a bite of the sweetest delight, the bounty of the forest"

GOLDEN LOCKS
The smallest of the children gave me a beautiful yellow flower, I smiled and my heart rejoiced. I stood up towering all of them and I walked forward passing a few small tents. Suddenly without expecting it... I heard the most angelical yet strong of female voices. The sun was in the direction I was heading and as I looked to my left. It was then that I saw you for the very first time... I kept walking without looking where I was stepping. Standing a few feet away, giving someone directions, you were attentive, cordial, a strong woman with a jovial spirit. Your golden hair fell over your shoulders braided, your eyes, the color of the ocean and your smile... friendly. Mesmerized by the vision of you I kept walking forward without breaking my gaze or my stride. As I passed you by, you looked in my direction with curiosity. I detected the smallest movement of your right eyebrow and the raising of the left. Then soon thereafter, the slight squinting of your eyes. As I passed you by... I smiled back, and nodded. Your eyes reverted back to the person asking for directions, but your smile was brighter.

IT MAY CONTINUE...

INGREDIENTS

According to professional journals such as the Free Radical Research, Journal of Pharmacology and the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. This is the world's most powerful natural antioxidant product in juice form in the market today.

This proprietary and delicious blend of 23 of the world's best nutritional fruits make Jus a vital component in your body's health; nature and science bring you...the right formula!

23 Ingredients - Product Description | JUS Source
	The acai berry contains higher concentrations of anthocyanins (the compounds thought to give wine its health benefits) with none of the health risks associated with alcohol. It's also a source of protein, dietary fiber, and contains high levels of both omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, thought to have protective effect on the cardiovascular system.
ACAI PALM [AH-sci-EE]
	Acerola, a wild plant grown in tropical and subtropical climates, is an excellent source of powerful antioxidants. It's rich in protein and mineral salts including iron and phosphorus calcium, and has shown remarkable anti-fungal activity. The free radical scavenging benefits of acerola are also useful for preventing abnormal growths and fighting cellular aging.
ACEROLA
	Studies show that aloe vera juice is an excellent source of at least 75 nutrients and more than 200 active compounds, including 20 minerals, 20 of the 22 necessary amino acids, and 12 vitamins. Drinking aloe vera juice has been shown to help regulate the digestive system and reduce inflammation.
ALOE VERA JUICE
	Scientists have found that the various flavonoids and polyphenols found in the apple have an effect which far outweights that of taking only vitamin C. Some of the chemicals are known to be anti-allergic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and/or antiviral.
APPLE CONCENTRATE
	A pea-sized, violent-black berry with a strong, dry and sour flavor that grows on deciduous shrubs native to eastern North America. Interest in the health benefits of aronia juice is based on its very high levels of anthocyanins and flavonoids, which are five to 10 times greater than cranberry juice, and has beneficial nutrients such as antioxidants, polyphenols, minerals and vitamins. It also includes compounds that may specifically fight cancer and cardiac disease.
ARONIA BERRY
	The cranberry has long been known for its antioxidant properties. It has also been shown to have an anti-bacterial effect in the bladder and has been used as a natural way to increase the health of the skin, kidneys and urinary tract.
CRANBERRY EXTRACT
	The Chinese have revered ginseng for centuries. Its ability to help with a variety of health conditions may be due to the fact that ginseng is an adaptogen, meaning that it works with the body to correct imbalances. For instance, if blood pressure is too high, it helps bring it down; if it's too low, it brings it up.
GINSENG
	These nutrient-rich parts of the grape contain amazing properties, such as natural doses of th anti-aging agent resveratrol. These parts of the grape also contain powerful and unique antioxidants, help lower bad cholesterol (while simultaneously raising good cholesterol), and demonstrate natural antihistamine effects.
GRAPE SEED AND GRAPE SKIN EXTRACT
	Shown to inhibit bacteria and viruses, and proven to protect the immunine system, green tea is a known cancer preventer. In addition, green tea counters the effects of radiation, keeps the pH of the blood balanced and is high in antioxidants. The Chinese, who have low incidences of cancer, routinely drink it. The polyphenolic catechins found in green tea are stronger than vitamin E in fighting free radicals.
GREEN TEA
	Valued by the Chinese for its health-improving qualities, the worlfberry is packed with fiber, omega-6, omega-3, protein, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, selenium, vitamins B2 and C, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin and polysaccharides. There's evidence that the wolfberry helps fight against cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, some cancers, diabetes, premature aging, memory loss, vision degeneration and lung disorders.
WOLFBERRY
	According to professional journals such as the Free Radical Research, Journal of Pharmacology, and the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology, xanthones (naturally occurring phytonutrients contained in the mangosteen).
MANGOSTEEN
	A recent study found that noni fruit is 40 times more powerful than sulforaphane -- an anticancer and antimicrobial compound obtained by eating crusiferous vegetables such as brussel sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, bock choy, kale, collards, mustard, turnip, radish and watercress. It's also been found to inhibit the oxidation of "bad" cholesterol, contain anti-inflammatory compounds and show anti-depressant effects.
NONI FRUIT
	Research has shown that the pomegranate has significantly higher levels of antioxidants than red wine or green tea. A recent study presented at the American Urological Association annual meeting posits that drinking pomegranate juice significantly extended the time it took prostate cancer markers in men to double. Studies also suggest that pomegranate juice drinkers had less oxygen deficiency to the heart during exercise than non-drinkers.
POMEGRANATE
	Prunes are good source of fiber and have long been recognized as a nutrient-rich fruit with multiple health benefits. They contain iron, potassium and vitamin C and are extremely high in the antioxidants known as phenolics, neochlorogenic acid and chlorogenic acid. The prune's high antioxidant content overpowers that of raisins and even blueberries.
PRUNE EXTRACT
	Raspberries contain high amounts of vitamin C, vitamin K, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium and are one of the best sources of ellagic acid, a natural compound shown to inhibit the growth of tumors caused by carcinogens. Additionally, ellagic acid has also shown promise as a natural antiviral and antibacterial compound as well as a potential as a natural arthritis treatment.
RASPBERRY
	An antibacterial, antiviral fungus, the reishi aids the liver and substantially helps the immune system, assisting it in fighting diseases and allergies. Western medicine is only beginning to catch up with what eastern medicine has known for centuries as healing powers of the mushroom are beginning to be demonstrated scientifically.
REISHI MUSHROOM
	Sea Buckthorn has been used to treat liver disease, gastrointestinal disorders (including peptic ulcers and gastritis), eczema, canker sores, ulcerative disorders of mucosal tissues, wounds, inflammation, burns, frostbite, psoriasis, lupus, erythematosus, and chronic dermatoses. In ophthalmology, sea buckthron extracts have been used for keratitis, trachoma, eyelid injuries and conjunctivitis.
SEA BUCKTHORN
	This delicious fruit has been featured in significant recent research and has demonstrated powerful antioxidant properties. A recent study performed by Tufts University and the USDA showed that the consumption of certain foods, including strawberries, can help improve short term memory. Strawberries also contain anthocyanins which help the body battle pain and inflammation, much like Vioxx® and Celebrex®, but without the dangerous side effects.
STRAWBERRY
	According to ongoing research, tart cherries are a rich source of antioxidants which can help fight disease. In addition, there are beneficial compounds in Montmorency tart cherries that help relieve the pain of arthritis and gout. While the research on the exact mechanisms that give the pain relief is underway, many consumers are discovering that tart cherry juice and other cherry products can stave off pain.
TART CHERRY EXTRACT
	White tea is made from very young tea leaves streamed immediately after harvest to deactivate polyphenol oxidase. They usually contain higher concentrations of catechins than other teas. According to Norman Hollenberg, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, epicatechin can reduce the risk of four of the major health problems: Stroke, heart failure, cancer and diabetes.
WHITE TEA
	The wild bilberry has been shown to be a good source of quercetin, a beneficial antioxidant flavonoid. Wild bilberry extract has been used to promote general capillary health and many inhibit age-related macular degeneration and help improving night vision.
WILD BILBERRY EXTRACT
	A study that tested the effects of blueberries on prostate and the liver cancer cells, showed that various compounds in wild blueberries possess the power to help prevent cancer in all three phases: Initiation, promotion and proliferation. Blueberries also made recent news for their ability to help prevent urinary tract infections.
