A bear had entered the cave.

Most people would have been mortally afraid to find themselves in such a predicament, for there was nowhere to run and no way to fight.

Sure enough, as the north wind licked around the edges of the cave and the clouds outside were driven apart, a faint wash of light fell into the cave, picking out the bear's exact position. It was silhouetted right in the center of the floor, sitting, as bears and cats often do, with its front paws tucked between its widespread rear paws, waiting, it seemed, to be formally greeted. Awed, but not afraid, Lucy stood up and brushed down her furs.
