  3. As Jack and Tom put up their tent, they didn't notice the big sign. It was dark and they had been hiking all day. They were so tired, they climbed into their sleeping bags and went to sleep. In the night they were woken by strange noises outside their tent. Jack grabbed his torch and bravely stuck his head out of the tent. He could hear an animal, but he couldn't see anything. He decided to make a fire. Next, they heard a loud roar. They froze in fear. A huge bear was staring at them. They hid in their tent. They didn't know what to do. Then Tom remembered his mobile phone and called the forest rangers. Very soon a ranger came and rescued them. "You were very lucky. The bears like this area. That's why we have the 'No Camping' sign," the ranger said. They had never felt so relieved in their lives.
