The Big bear

I fear Bears because I feel more vulnerable than in a car or a house.So i don’t feel as safe in  tent as in a house. One weekend I went camping with my family, and it was somewhere in West Virginia where there was a caution of Bears. that meant there was bears that lived around the area so lookout and be careful my family and I went fishing hiking and other fun stuff by the fire.The fish we caught we ate for dinner after dinner we went bye the lake that was close to the campsite and just relaxed then around 8:30 or around 9:00 we headed back to make s’mores my mouth watered like a waterfall.

Then after that we went in our tents and set up are camping gear it took years for me to finish because I only had a flashlight and also i just did not feel like sending up everything in the day which was a mistake. But got it done also I remember we had food in the car, but my Dad said it would attract bears but I did not listen so I went in my tent and ate cookies candy and other things and there was crumbs everywhere and i put the rappers outside the tent. which was not smart.So after that I went to bed and i was half awake and half asleep when I heard.

A loud GRUNT and something SNIFFING it sounded like a loud wind whistling I was scared I could not even move so I slowly walk to the tents back door. And unzipped it slowly and ran out to try to go to my parents tent but I got scared and ran into the car and locked all the doors and slept in the car but I never slept. And in the morning my dad ask me what happened and “I said I brought food in the tent and a bear came and ate it”. “And my dad said the tent in also destroyed to your in big trouble”.

So me and my family had to leave to camping my mom and dad were mad they “said what are you thinking and you have to buy a new tent and you didn’t listen to your father. So I Learned that to never have food in your tent and don’t put the rappers outside it outside. Also I fear bears Because they’re big scary. and I hear stories about them attacking people so I am also scared of them attacking me. But I will try to get over my fear because I know that if you don’t bother them them they won’t bother you.  That’s the first step

Also don’t think about the negative thing about bears think of something good about bears.
