Bear on the Prowl
The black bear felt hungry. He sniffed the
morning air. Food smells were coming from a
campsite at the edge of the forest. The bear
began to stride toward the tempting smell.
A locked cooler full of food sat on the ground.
But the bear strained for only a moment to open it.
One swipe with his massive paw, and the top
popped right off. The bear began to eat.
Suddenly, two hikers walked into their
campsite. Lunging at them, the bear also let out
a deep growl. The hikers wheeled around and
ran away.
