Silent Connection
Amazingly, the turning point in the crisis would come automatically. The cub who was committed to biting his way onto the boat suddenly locked eyes with the fisherman trying to help him along. That was when a natural connection and understanding developed between them. Now that they were literally seeing eye to eye, the two sides could finally cooperate on the same page. The cub was yearning for help from the fisherman!
Another Strategy
The fishermen were not about to give up, but intentions mean nothing without intelligent action. Once you become committed to helping someone, living with the possible failed outcome can be devastating. Inspiration often comes in the most hopeless places, and it was then that the fishermen realized that their long fishing nets could be of use. They were long enough for the cubs to reach, and the actual nets were wide enough to scoop the bears with.
