Silly Bear Story

A. Reading

The Kirkland family went camping in Yosemite National

Park in northern California. They found a beautiful spot

near a stream, and they set up their tent and started a fire.

Mr. Kirkland left to search for more fire wood. When he

returned, he saw his wife and son up in a tree. A mother

bear was roasting hot dogs over the campfire and a baby

cub was sleeping in a sleeping bag. The mother bear

roared when she saw Mr. Kirkland. He was so afraid

that he climbed up the same tree that held his wife and

son. Do you think this is a true story? Is it fact or

fiction?
