There’s this rumour circulating in the forest that a ferocious bear has put together a list of all the animals he’s planning to devour. Naturally, the animals are in a complete state of panic. A few days go by, the attacks have not yet started, and all the animals are on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Some of them can’t go on living with the uncertainty and decide to pay the bear a visit. The fox is the first to visit.

- "Hey bear, I heard that you have a list with all the animals you’re going to devour. Is this so?"
- "Yes it is", replies the bear.
- "Do me a favour then. I can’t go on living in such uncertainty. You are stronger, I know, but could you at least tell me if I’m on the list?"
- "Let me check….D,E, F, Fox, yes, you’re on the list!"
- "Darn, what an unfortunate way to go. Get over with it quickly."
In one swift movement, the bear eats the fox’s head, and that’s that.

The dog is the bear’s next visitor:

- "Tell me if I’m on the list."
The bear scans through the list... - "A, B, C, D, Dog, you’re on the list, pal."
- "Oh no! I who have scared off so many cats to die from a bear? I don’t want to be humiliated in front of everyone. Whatever you’re planning on doing, do it now!"
One large bite, and the dog is history.

The rabbit enters next...

- "Mr. Bear, there’s a rumour going around and we all know about it. Lets sort this out. Am I on the list?"
- "P, Q, R, yes, you are."
- "Now, can you take me off the list?"
- "Sure, why not", and crosses him off the list.
