context: Yesterday I officially met my first bear . I had the afternoon off of work and was driving in Leavenworth on East Leavenworth Road and came across a furry brown bear . He had ran across the road about 20 yards in front of my car . As I approached where he was sitting on the bank of the road he just sat and watched me .
question: What's a possible reason the writer had an afternoon off of work ?
reference: Because there was no work to get done .
candidate: It was a stressful bus trip so they decided to switch their focus to the bear during the walk
