THE BIG BEAR

 

Once there were two men who went bear hunting for a big bear known as the big monster bear. When they found a good place to stay they put their stuff on the bank and then put their tent up. Then they walked into the hills to look for the bear. They soon spotted it and ran into the trees to get closer to it. They saw it eating a baby cub and when they shot at it they said it was breathing like a human and talking like an Eskimo. But it escaped.

The men went back to their tent and had a cup of tea and coffee and some dry fish before getting ready for bed. In the morning one of the men said that he had a dream that the bear would kill one of them. Later on when they were walking they said they heard a very weird sound. When they checked it out they found a small Black bear cub crying for its mother. They kept on walking into the hills where they heard another weird sound. When they heard it again they stopped and looked back. They saw the monster bear was right behind them.

They ran as fast as they could to get away from it, but then they stopped suddenly. When the monster bear came closer they waited till it opened its mouth, then they shot it in the mouth. It fell down but it was still breathing, so one of the men shot it with his .357 pistol. After it was dead they skinned the bear, and when they were done skinning it the men brought it back to the tent where they packed it up and put it in their boat. The next day they all went home with their monster bear.
