Once upon a time, there was a big grizzly bear that roamed the forest. This Bear was greedy, loud, and quite atrocious. Anything he wanted he would figure out a way to cheat or to steal it. He believed that he was the King of the jungle and that any and everything belonged to him. One of his favorite pastimes was going from honeycomb to honeycomb destroying the bee family for their honey. He loved honey and would do anything for it.
One day the bear was trolling the forest and he came upon the most delicious-looking honeycomb he had ever seen. The honeycomb was shining bright with yellow and tan combs that glistened in the sun. The bee's were in harmony as they created the sweetest of juices. The smell of honey was festering in his nose and he had to have that honey.
The Bear began to reach for the honeycomb, but each time his hand came back smoldering with smoke. He tried another side of the honeycomb, but this time his hand came back frozen. The Bear sat there exhausted from all the effort and quite puzzled as to why he could not reach this honey. He kept trying and didn't notice that the seasons had changed and so had his body. The bear tried to walk, but he had no feet, the bear tried to hunt, but he had no hands. The bear soon realized that he had used all his energy focused on this one honeycomb and didn't notice the loss of his hands and feet and had to roll into a cave.
What the Bear didn't realize is this honey was protected by the four elements in the forest that he ruled. The Bear didn't realize that the same elements that protected that honeycomb were the same elements that allowed him to be in the forest. Those same elements could not allow the Bear to destroy this very special honeycomb, with very special honey bees, that produced very special honey. The protection around the honeycomb was invisible to those who did not deserve to eat from the honeycomb. They didn't realize in order to see the traps you had to be honey.
