If I Were A Bear For A Couple of Years...

If I were a bear for a couple years I would stay away from fish camps. I would raid their camp only when they were gone to a village for food.

I would be a female. And during the mating season, I would always watch the two males fight and when one of them won, I would go with the male.

Eight to 9 months later, I had a female cub and I named her Charlotte. The first year Charlotte and I went out to look for food. When we got done eating, we played Peach Touch. After that when we were just about to go home, a male (Robert) came and almost killed Charlotte and I got really mad and kicked him in the butt. After that it never tried to kill Charlotte again. A few days later Charlotte died. I was really sad and cried most of the day. When the next mating came I watched the two males fight over me, and when one male won I had a boy, and I named him Elmer Fudge. I didn't like him so I gave him to his father.

After that I didn't want any more cubs. So during the mating season I always hid from the males. But the next season I was so bored that I had two cubs and I named them Yvonne and Teresa. Every day they would play Peach Touch. After that we ate and lived happily after.
