Bear Tales

Go Back

   There were two cubs and a mom. The mom went to the river to get some fish and blueberries. When the cubs saw the mom they ran to her. Then they started to eat the fish and blueberries. Then a big bear came at night and the mom heard the big bear and they started to fight!

   One day I was playing outside in my yard with my little sister Allease. My sister and I heard a noise. We went to go check to see what was there. We sawn a bear on the tundra eating berries! Then suddenly the bear started to growl at my sister and me. We started running as fast as we could but my sister could not run fast so I picked my sister up to carry her. That made me trip over a rock. My sister kept saying “Hurry up! Get up! Get up!” Then I was finally able to get up and we made it inside the house. We told our mom there was a bear chasing us so my mom hurried to lock the door. Then she said "You can’t go outside till tomorrow!"

   One day when I was at Stephannie's house I went out to her mom’s jeep to hide from her. Her mom, Wanda, saw me out there and told me to come back in and I said “No!“ A few minutes later I decided to go in. Stephannie had left the trunk of the jeep wide open. When I got in the house it was time to drive to King Salmon so we went out the door. There were two baby bears in the jeep! We ran back into the house and Wanda said “Stephanie, you were lucky you weren’t in the car when that happened!”

 One day me my sister and my brother went to this lake to play in the mud. First I asked my dad if we could then he said “Yes, but don’t go in the water.“
  Then I said "Okay, let’s go!"
  Then we went to the lake. We saw some ducks. We made loud noises. Then a bear came! Then we ran home.

   Hi! I'm Nikki O'Hara. I had a very interesting thing happen to me and my friends! We were outside playing on the swingset. We all went up to the playhouse to play. Suddenly we saw a teenage bear! My brother snuck inside the house. Half the time one of the little kids that was with us, whose name is Jaxon, was screaming! Finally we all snuck inside and watched the bear until it left.

   One day there was an angry bear. The bear was also very hungry. It was so hungry and mad that it broke into the school cafeteria and it ate tons of the school’s food. It ate a gallon of sugar! That’s a lot! I could never eat that much sugar! Well that’s my story and hope you liked it!

   One day my friends and I were playing. We were having lots of fun. Then suddenly my friend’s mom said “Hey you guys! Come! I see two baby bear cubs!“
   So we went to my mom’s room and looked out the window and we saw two baby bear cubs. It was pretty scary because they were really close to our house. Then my friend got so scared that she started to cry. After that the cubs turned around and started getting really close to my house. Then they both left.

   We were going to the dump but then we accidentally left the truck door open. A bear went in my truck and it tore up some of my stuff then it went in the back trunk and it ate the trash. That bear went in the truck. We just shot a gun in the air and the bear went away. It came back after a while then my grandpa went and shot up in the air again. My gun wasn't loaded so I couldn't. Then the bear went away. The next day we went fishing and we caught our fish. Then my grandpa hung it up on the sticks on the drying rack and that bear came early in the morning. My grandpa grabbed my gun and it was loaded. Then he went and woke me up and I shot the bear in the leg. It went away and never came back. That's all.

   One time about two years ago I was playing outside with my little brother. So we were sitting outside by the bushes. Then we noticed a bear sitting right by Cyrus and me. It sat by us and stared at us. Then our sister started to scream! We looked back and ran! Well, you know how some people say don't run or the bear will get you? Well this bear wasn't like that.! Well, that’s my bear story.

   One night my mom made cookies for the family at about 12:00. Then a bear was at the back door! It almost broke the door down! It tore our kitchen screen down. My mom was in her room going to sleep and she heard the noise from the bear so she yelled out "Quit messing around in the bathroom!"
   I said "It’s not any of us kids!"
   Then she saw the bear out the window so we all went to the living room to wait ‘til the bear left.

   One day my sisters and I went riding on 4-wheelers. We were driving down the trail behind our house when all of a sudden my sisters stopped. I looked up ahead and there was a bear! It was a big bear about 6 feet tall. I'm happy to say it was running away. We went home.

   Once I saw a bear in my aunt’s backyard. It was cool. My uncle said it was three years old. I thought it was really big for a three year old. It headed for Jordan's house. My cousin Stephannie started crying. And then she ran screaming to hide under her bed. Stephannie was so scared she started calling Jordan's house on the telephone when my aunt said "Stephannie it is 10:00 at night and you don't need to wake them up just to tell them!”

   We were at the dump watching bears. There were 19 bears there. Then another one came and it was ten feet tall. There were a lot of people there watching bears that night.

   One time when we were at the Bay of Islands in Katmai National Park some cousins and I were just sitting around watching the fire. Some people were playing on the beach and we heard them yell “A bear! A bear!”
   So we went to go check. But first off we were not knowing that my dad’s dog was off his leash! My dad’s dog started to take off running after the bear. Luckily I was able to grab my own dog or else he would have taken off too. Well anyway, Dad’s dog took off and he chased that bear to the other side of the beach. All of a sudden he bit the bear in the butt! Weird though, but he did. After an hour he finally came back and yes, he was smiling like nothing happened, but it did.
