A Sad Adventure

If I was a Grizzly bear for a summer I would want to be a female cub. I would live with my mom and brother where hunters couldn't find us. First I would go out and explore. I would explore until I couldn't explore anymore. Then my mom would bring me and my brother down to the river to catch fish. We would catch so much fish we would have to go home and sleep. After eating fish for awhile my mom would teach us how to hunt for our food. First my brother and I would just catch mice. Then we would catch rabbits, and last moose calves. After about two summers with our mom she would teach my brother and I how to catch a wounded moose.

If a wandering male bear came around my mom would go over and beat the daylights out of him. All the male bears that bothered us would run away bleeding and scared to death.

One day when we were walking up the old bear path we did see a big male coming down towards us. He was looking straight at me and my brother. My mother told us to run down the path. So we ran down about 15 feet and stopped. My mom was already fighting the bear and the bear was backing off slowly. Then he ran away and we never saw him the rest of our trip.

Another day all three of us were walking around on the tundra looking for berries. Our mom didn't see the hunters in cam camouflage clothes watching us at the edge of the tundra. She was too far down the stream to tell her, so my brother and I ran into the trees and didn't come out. We heard gun shots and more gun shots. Our mother's cries were heard from the pits of our heads to the tips of our toes. When her crying stopped we knew our mother was killed. We walked through the trees in sad horror.
