The Bear That Was Swimming Across by Teresa George:One day there was a man named Steven, his wife, Marie, and their two children, Bobby and Bertha, who were going for a camping trip. After they got ready to go, they started up the river to where their cabin was. It took them an hour and a half to reach their cabin. When they got there they unloaded their boat and put all their food, clothing, bedding and other stuff in their cabin. Later in the evening, Steven and Bobby went out fishing so Marie could cut fish. Marie and Bertha were left alone. Two hours passed and Steven and Bobby never came back. Marie started to cook so Steven and Bobby could eat some hot food when they came home. When the cooking was half done Bertha looked out on the river and saw two animals swimming towards them. Bertha called her mom and told her to come. So Marie came running up to her, and out on the river she spotted two Brown bears! By then the bears were only 50 feet away from them. Bertha remembered her father's 12 gauge shotgun by their door in the cabin. Since Steven had taught Marie how to shoot his 12 gauge, Bertha went and got it. Marie then loaded the gun, putting two 12 gauge shells in it. Then she shot the gun towards the river and nearly hit one of the bears. Then it turned around and went back to the other side of the river. But the other bear kept on coming! Marie shot at it but she missed it by 20 feet. So she had to load the gun again. By the time she was done reloading the gun though the bear was 25 feet away. When she shot the first shell she nearly hit it, but the bear was still coming! Steven and Bobby were on their way up when they heard shooting. Steven made the boat go faster. When they finally got there the bear was only 10 feet away! So Steven took out his gun and shot the bear in the right arm. The bear stopped moving and Steven shot another shell, but this time he hit the bear in the head and the bear died. Then he and Bobby went back to get it. After they brought the bear to the landing they skinned it out and hung it up. Marie and Bertha were both very happy Steve and Bobby had come just in the nick of time! Teresa George | |
