On a hot summer day, my uncle and auntie took me and a couple of my friends out on a boat ride. First we went to an island called Goose Island and we had a picnic. Then my uncle brought us to Kwik Island for a swim.

When we were swimming my uncle suddenly told us to get out of the water 'right now'. So we got out and dried ourselves off. Then he said that he saw a bear swimming toward us. My friends and I got really scared. So we quickly took our wet clothes off and put our dry clothes on and went into the boat.

We waited in the boat for about an hour and a half. Finally my uncle said that we were going home, but when he tried to start the engine, it wouldn't start.

As the bear swam to us, my friends and I got really scared. One of my friends even started to cry. My uncle quickly started working on the engine.

When he was finally done working on the engine, the brown bear was only ten feet away.

As the bear came closer in the water, my uncle finally remembered that he had a .338 rifle. He aimed it at the bear and shot it right between the eyes.

After it died we put the bear in the boat and went home.
