Old Man Riley

One day, back when he was much younger and simply known as Riley, he was out hunting when he saw a truly magnificent buck.  He was about to raise his rifle and shoot when Riley realized that the buck's horns were ensnared in tangle brush and the buck was unable to escape.  Riley decided it would not be fair to shoot the buck and instead slowly and carefully cut the buck free.  Once free, the buck bounded off but not before taking a long look back at Riley.  Many years later, when he was old, Old Man Riley was out for a slow hike when he walked up on and surprised a grizzly bear.  Not just any bear- a mean grizzly bear.   The bear chased Old Man Riley up and down and across and back hills and streams for most of the day.  Finally, the bear cornered Old Man Riley up against some rocks and it looked like there was no way out except to try and fight his way past the bear.  Old Man Riley was not as tough or as strong as he once was, but he took a deep breath and figured, "if this bear is gonna whup me, he is in for a fight!".  Just then, out of the corner of his eye, the brave old man saw a flash of brown and heard the bear growl out in pain.  A magnificent buck- the same buck Old Man Riley had saved years ago- had lowered his antlers and crashed right into the side of that grizzly bear!  Old Man Riley watched as the buck butted the bear again and again, only backing away when the bear swung his massive claws into the buck's shoulders and back.  Still, the buck kept charging forward.  The bear finally turned and left.  Old Man Riley was safe.  The kindness he had shown years ago was repaid that day and Old Man Riley never forgot it.

As I recall, the story teller was then supposed to somehow relate the moral of the story to mean that each camper should make sure to use soap when they took a shower that night and that it was not cool to eat your own boogers.
