THE MAGIC BEAR
During the summer of 1862, there lived a young girl named Sarah
and her father, Richard, in a fish camp near a lake and a small
river. The girl had lived with her father out in the wilderness ever
since her mother died. She died in a car accident.
One day while she was growing up she and her father killed a
Grizzly bear in the lake. The bear had two cubs that were always
playing and wrestling. Sarah liked to watch the two cubs all
afternoon until they would go back into the trees at sunset.
Slowly the bears got used to Sarah until finally after a year
Sarah could touch the cubs. It was a miracle, she thought, for both
human and mammal to be able to feel and touch each other, even though
sometimes the bears got scared and ran as fast as they could back
into the willows. Sarah laughed and was tickled when this happened.
But eventually, they got to be close friends.
Sarah's father didn't know about the cubs and one day when
Richard
saw Sarah playing with one of the bears he hollered, "Get away
Sarah!" The bear disappeared like magic, and Sarah couldn't believe
her eyes. When she asked her father why the bear disappeared so
quickly he said he didn't know. She told her father about being best
friends with the bear,but the bear disappeared for days. Soon Sarah
began to get very worried, but a week and a half later the bear
popped out of the willows and found Sarah picking raspberries in the
forest. When she saw the bear she hugged him hard and asked where he
had gone. He wanted to play with her but she couldn't play right away
because she had to pick a pail full of berries for their dessert.
After she picked the berries though she played with the bear.
Sarah named the bear Nyomie, and she played with him every day
because she really wanted to get to know him and find out what he was
like. But one day her father decided to move to the city near their
home. It was one hundred miles away from where they lived. Her father
had found a job in the city as an architect.
After explaining to Nyomie why she was leaving, she noticed him
begin to change form. He finally became transparent and disappeared.
Later, she found out he was a bear spirit that had lived there for
many years. He had become Sarah's friend, but now since she had to
move to the city he vanished back into the wilderness. Sarah would
remember Nyomie forever though.
