The Brown Bear by Robert Pitka

:

One time long ago when Kevin, Timmy, Olga and I were going to Wilson Slough we saw a bear running on the beach. We watched it for awhile. Then when we went into Wilson Slough we saw the same bear again but this time it was standing up. I didn't notice it at first,then Olga pointed at it and said, "There's that same bear!" Then it roared a couple of times and stood there watching us. Then it got back down on all fours and ran into the trees. It was breaking a lot of branches when it ran through the trees. It was the biggest Brown bear I had ever seen.
