Bob, Bob, Bob.... (head shaking in disappointment)

You're either getting forgetful, or just being modest.  We all know -
even if you won't admit it - that the real story would begin something
like this...

"I was 100 miles from the nearest civilization, paddling waters that had
not been disturbed since the Tlingit last inhabited the land.  When I
rounded a point, a group of Polar bears were directly in my path, and as
I slowed the kayak, the biggest of them was clearly disturbed by my
intrusion, and spoke to me saying "What white man is this, that dares to
enter our land!" Knowing that my answer could mean the difference
between life or death, I called upon the Ravens, who had been guiding my
path, and asked of them, "Oh mighty and all knowing Ravens, how shall I
answer the Bear, who seeks to do me harm?" 

Alright, Bob.  Don't be bashful.  Go on and finish the "real" story for
us!  We're waiting!  :-)
