¶ Finding the Bear and Retreat
What's that? One shiny wet nose, two big furry ears, two big goggly eyes. It's a... Bear! Quick! Back through the cave. Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe. Back through the snowstorm. Back through the forest. Stumble, trip, stumble, trip. Stumbled trip. Back through the mud. Squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt. Back through the river. Splash, splash, splash, splash, splash, splash. Back through the grass. Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.
Get to our front door. Open the door. Up the stairs. Oh no! We forgot to shut the door! Back downstairs. Shut the door. Bang! Back upstairs. Into the bedroom. Into bed. Under the covers. We're not going on a bear hunt again.
