Bear Growing Up Part I

Bear's memory starts in Fundy, 3 warm times ago. There was Bear, mama bear and brother. We spent all day playing, eating and napping. Bear and brother would run in the woods and have bear fights. At first bear ate from mama bear's belly. Then mama bear started bringing us fishes she caught. Bear loves the fishes. Mama bear would take us fishing with her, and taught us how to fish in the shallow pools where some fish get stuck. Bear still remembers the first fish he caught all by himself. Bear didn't want to share with brother, but mama made me. It was still good. And when brother caught one, he had to share with me.

Sometimes other big men bears would get in fights with mama, but mama would always win. She said that they were trying to eat us. Bear just liked fish, not other bears.

Soon bears were getting fish all by themselves. Then it got cold.Bear likes the cold. And the white came on the ground. The white was fun to eat and play in. Then mama made a new hole and we all got in and had the biggest nap ever. Bear loves remembering being all warm and cozy in the hole.
