The Night of the Grizzly
Story/poem
My husband and I were invited to go on a
camping trip. I being a city girl - it was a real
trip for me. It was quiet late at night, we were
on our camping site.
Everybody had gone to bed. I was not used to
the outdoors, so I was having trouble sleeping.
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside. I knew
there was trouble, even though I was inside.
I heard someone get out of his tent. He came
screaming. There's a bear, there's a bear. Please
come out and see. I said I'm not going. I'll stay
here until you kill that thing.
Soon everybody went outside, carring riffles and
everything they could find. The BEAR was going
through a rampage, destroying everything in it's
path. My husband had gone out with a gun in his
hand, but someone else took the first shot.
I was still inside not making a sound, when I heard
the shot. I said to myself it's time to come out. I
thought I would see the Bear dead, but to my shock
the Bear had left. He took all our food and ran away.
Someone said - did you see the size of that BEAR?
Another guy said yes - it was a Grizzly. At hearing that,
I think I fainted. Then I was glad I never saw it, but
no one will ever forget the night the Grizzly came...

How is this for a made up story?
Someone ask me to write something
about a Grizzly - I did.
