The Big Black Bear by Teresa George

:

One time about three years ago when I was a little younger, all of my family were thinking about going to one of the fish collectors to sell our fish. It was fishing season then. At first my mom, sister and I were going to stay at our fish camp. It was about one or two A.M. and we were feeling lazy. But we finally decided to go.

I'm glad we did because right below our camp we saw a big Black bear! I was sleeping below my mom in the boat when she woke me up to show it to me. We watched It for awhile as it went inside the trees. Then we kept going down to one of the fish collectors!

My dad wished he had his gun along! That bear was big! I mean big!! My mom told us it was a good thing we never stayed behind!

I guess the bear was heading up towards our fish camp! Our dryfish were starting to ripen by then and it was probably attracted by the smell.

The End
