Homonym: BEAR
“While hiking through the forest, we spotted a large brown bear near the river. I could hardly bear the fear rushing through me, but we stayed calm and quiet. Later, our guide told us that trees bear fruit in this region only once a year. On our way back, I noticed a sign that said, ‘Bear left for the campsite.’ I laughed, thinking how one word could mean an animal, to endure, to produce, or even to turn! I’ll always remember that day—it taught me to bear with patience and courage.”
