Last summer my family went to a National Park for a holiday and had an unusual experience, when we got there, we put up our tent and then went out to travel around, As we returned, I heard my sister Susan cry out and then we saw a bear enter our tent. I wanted my father to drive him away. My father said, “No, it’s dangerous to drive a bear away. And don’t let him follow you.” Susan said, “What shall we do? Maybe we should climb a tree.” I said, “No, we’ve got to get him out of there. He might go to sleep in our tent.” “Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him to eat.” Susan said. Then my mother said, “How are you going to get the honey? It’s in the tent.” We watched the bear enter the tent and heard a lot of noise——it turned over everything inside. “It’s foolish for us to try to catch him,” said my father, “Leave him alone and wait for him to come out,” We waited and waited but the bear stayed inside. So we had to sleep in the car.
