GRIZZLY BEAR Once there was a family who lived out in the country. They lived far away from the other villages and nobody visited them very much because they were too far from the other villages. They lived there for only two and a half years.And they always played games outside their house. One day the children said they were going to go play deep into the woods. But their parents said "no" because they might see a bear. The kids went anyway because they didn't think they should be treated like little kids. Besides they had never seen a Grizzly bear before. They climbed up trees and got some pine cones. Then while they were going down the tree,they saw a Grizzly bear and four cubs across the stream from where they packed water. They climbed down as fast as they could but the bear came running after them. They hollered 'dad'! And their dad came out just in time and saw the Grizzly bear running after them. He ran back into their house and got his .338 shot gun. It only had four shells in it but he grabbed it anyway. As the bear was coming closer to the kids he shot it in the leg and it fell and started to crawl towards them. Their dad loaded his gun and shot it in the head and it finally died. When the little cubs came looking for the mother, their dad said "I shouldn't of shot it!" Then the kids asked if they could keep the cubs till they grew big. They said they would let them go when they were old enough to go out on their own. Their dad said yes, so one day the whole family went back to the village and they bought the cubs collars. When they got back to camp, the kids wondered what they would name the cubs. They decided to name one Uncle and the others, Pubby, Spanky, and Soxie. After the cubs got used to their names, they started to go to the kids when they called them. Two weeks later they started to get food on their own.

Whenever the kids' father saw hunters, he would warn them about shooting their pet bears. He would say, "Do not shoot them, they are not harmful." So the hunters went on home. Finally though, the Grizzly bears went away on their own. Even though the kids wanted them to stay, they had to go because they were too dangerous to have them around camp. The kids were happy they had them for the summer though, and they hoped they could have bear pets again someday. THE END BY: KATHERINE DUNY
