GRIZZ FOR THE SUMMER

 

If I was a grizzly for the summer I would stay out of the town and other places where I could get shot. I would also have my own territory way back in the hills. I would be a big boar living by myself and I would travel great distances.

When I am hungry I'll go to a stream where bear and other animals hunt fishfor food. When I hunt fish I'll probably get into fights. But I'll surely win all the fights I get into. After I'm done fighting and eating I'll go all the way back to where I was sleeping at first. When night comes I'll go to sleep and wake up in the morning. After I wake up I'll go and take a dip to wake myself up completly. I'll skip the mating season because I'm shy.

When I got hungry again I'd go to my favorite fishing spot. But if it was filled with other bears I'd go hunt a buck deer that had dull tips on its antlers. When I was done eating I would dig a hole and put the left over meat in the hole and eat it later. When I went back to that spot I might feel a cold wind blowing, telling me that it was time to go back to the mountains.
