Description

What happens when you’re attacked by a grizzly bear, left for dead, and forced to crawl nearly 200 miles to survive? That’s the true story, or perhaps just the legend, of Hugh Glass, a 19th-century frontiersman whose incredible survival story inspired books and Hollywood films like The Revenant.


In this episode, you’ll:




  • Hear the dramatic survival story of Hugh Glass.




  • Learn and review 10+ irregular past tense verbs in context (ran, tore, bit, beat, lay, wore, told, dealt, stole, and more).




  • Discover how legends grow through “embellishment” — when details get added to make a story more dramatic.




  • Reflect on the moral of the story: true strength isn’t just physical, it’s determination and endurance.




👉 This is the second part of Episode #198 (Against All Odds), so if you haven’t yet, go back and listen to that one first!
