A bear jumped off a bridge in Donner Summit, California to escape two passing cars. It caught the ledge of the bridge and pulled itself to safety. Authorities returned the next day to find the bear asleep on the ledge. They tranquilized the bear, lowered it into a safety net, and after it woke up, let it walk away unharmed. The story's moral is that when faced with an impossible situation, taking a nap can sometimes allow the problem to resolve itself, similar to how the sleeping bear was rescued.
