The trees were soaring above me, looking down at me like a was a small ant. To my right was a small mountain made of rocks and huge boulders that may fall in my direction at any time. A few yards below the track was a small creek. Next to it, something made me feel frightened there was a small rowing boat, but it looked like it could fit two people. I wonder who came here by boat when there was a track. It must be old it thought it was abandoned and rusty too. I left it where it was and rushed ahead until I heard a noise coming from the top of the mountain.
“Baa”, the goat screamed as it rushed to me like a bull charging with all its strength. Luckily, I managed to jump to my right side and get out of the way of those nasty horns. The mountain goat was fast on rocks but not as fast and agile as me on track. This fortunately made me stay alive a bit longer than I expected. I never knew my reflex was that good. After running a few miles, I stopped and noticed it was no longer behind me. I caught my breath for a while before continuing on the track.
When I stopped, I realised a roar was coming from the other side of the creek. I did not want to know what it was so continued on the track. As I was walking, I noticed several monkeys on coconut trees. But I simply went forward and ignored it until I learnt my mistake. The monkey was jumping on the coconut trees to make the coconuts fall on me. I used my super keen eyesight to dodge the coconuts. I ran away from the cheeky monkeys.
Further down the tracks, I saw more trees formed like a hall and the track underneath. The leaves were crunching as I moved every step cautiously. Heading towards the end of the hall of trees which looked like a river or main creek. As I was getting closer to the water, I could feel the damp soil dragging me down like mud but much slower.
I peered out onto the water when I saw something dark and brown heading in my way. Could it be… Yes, it is but how is that possible? I shivered as the hideous and most frightening creatures came hunting for me. The cold breeze went behind my back. The mints in my mouth melted every second faster than the last…

It was on my tail. I ran as fast as I could the way I came. But it still followed until I lost my breath. I gave up and turned around. It was the biggest monster I have ever seen in my life. It was an unbreathing moment in my life.
It had grey fur like a normal bear, but its face was golden and bright. It was the Kranses Bear the one in the legend. The one who faced the famous Greek hero Hercules. In one of his quests, he meets face to face with this certain bear. Hercules’s quest was to rip the fur of this bear and bring him slain. But I was no hero. I barely could fight a goat with horns. How on earth will I beat this nasty rare bear without dying myself?
“Well here goes nothing”, I exclaimed. I cannot outrun a bear who has my scent. I definitely could not fight him. I would have no flesh in less as I can say RUN! So, I used the oldest trick I knew to act dead in front of a bear.
Of course, that sounds stupid, but I didn’t have a better plan.
I hang down like a dead body on the grass. It was uncomfortable knowing a bear was behind me and I am not running but waiting to die slowly. I recalled the history of the bear to see if there was anything that I could do. But nothing comes into anybody’s head when they are frightened to death. So, I stood there as quiet as can be. I heard the bear landing on the shore after its bath in the freezing, cold water. I think it saw me because I could hear the footsteps getting louder and louder and louder. Until he was right next to me.
He liked me in delight. It lay on my chest, but I soon realised it was not heavy as it should be. Normally an adult Kranses Bear Is at least 5 times my weight. However, I am sure I can lift this bear. I slowly opened one eye a bit to see a round, small face looking at me. I opened my eyes for a second and it did not strike. I lifted myself from the damp soil. The creature was so cute. It is a bear cub from the Kranses Bear. It looked so similar. But the question was if the cub was here where is the mother? I must leave for the sake of my life before…” Roar”, came out of the trees.
The mother was here. She saw her cub. I thought of the best thing I could have done. Then an idea sparked in my head, but I wasn’t sure about that. I moved one step forward and took the cub in my hands and showed it to the mother bear. It roared with pleasure. I moved forward slowly and put the bear cub near the mother who was filled with happiness to at last find her baby.
A soft growl gave the bear to me which I thought was welcoming. It was the best day of my life with a bear in a lovely rainforest. It felt like home. An unhappy thought took over me. My home was destroyed by the war. Maybe I could stay with the bears, and they will be my home and friends.
