One day, Oney Amouak,Irene's dad, and her grandpa went out hunting on a hillside near their home. Her dad was a teenager then, and old enough to follow her grandpa around and help him out. So when they went on the side of the hill along a treeline, her grandpa told her dad to stop walking while he went to check for any animals out in the open. Then while her grandpa was walking up to a clearing, a Brown bear attacked him. The bear tried to hit him with his right arm, but her grandpa went under the bear's left arm. Irene's dad told her that the bears always hit with their right arm. So every time the bear tried to hit her grandpa, he would jump under his left arm and the bear would always hit himself.

They went on like this for a long time till the bear was going to fall on her grandpa. But the bear fell into the ground and sank where the two made the tundra soft. He sank down under there in the mud and got stuck all the way up to its shoulders. Then after her grandpa rested, he went back to her dad.

Her grandpa's shirt was all wet with sweat from fighting hard with the bear, and when they tried to take her grandpa's shirt off it was stuck on him. He told her dad that that is why the people do not drink too much water or they will sweat when they are in a tight situation.
