If I Were A Bear For the Summer by Jackie George

:

If I were a bear for the summer I would check out the villages on the Yukon and scare people. Sometimes I would go to fishcamps and eat some fish. When people came to fish / would scare them and take their fish. But if I saw someone with a gun I would run away. If they shot at me I would charge them. I would try to scare all the female bears and their cubs away. I would live by a little stream where there are lots of fish. Whenever I got hungry I would go out to the tundra or the stream and eat. Someplace there is a big valley where I would have a big den. During the fall I would put lots of food away for the winter. I would travel many miles looking for the den I would stay in.
