Mr. Grey liked shooting very much, but he did not get much practice it shooting wild animals, and he was not very good at it. One of his troubles was that his eyes were not very good and he had to wear classes. When it rained and his glasses got wet, he could not see very well.

One day he was invited to go out shooting bears in the mountains. It was rather a rainy day, and by mistake Mr. Grey shot at one of the other hunters and hit him in the leg.

There was a court case about this, and at it the lawyer for the other man said,

'Why did you shoot at Mr. Robinson?"

Mr. Grey answered, I thought that he was a bear.’

‘When did you realize that you were wrong?’ The lawyer asked.

‘When the bear began to shoot back at me,' Mr. Grey answered.
