You probably know about these
3 Bears
that dressed like people and lived in a house in the
woods. In that story, a girl named Goldilocks
came to their house, ate their porridge, broke a chair, and went to sleep
in their bed. That story was not true. This is how the story should read.............
The three bears are
not Mama, Papa and Baby. They are Mama Bear and her
two cubs.
Their
house in the woods is a den. The cubs were born in late January while Mama
Bear was hibernating. They have been going for a walk since April or May.
She taught her cubs how to climb a tree to escape danger. At her signal, the
little bears run up the nearest tree.
They stay there until she tells them to come down. The cubs are curious and
playful.Mama Bear has her paws full keeping up with them, and teaching them
to stay out of trouble. During
the spring and summer,
the cubs followed Mama and learned what bears like to eat. They tasted many
foods, and began to eat the things their mother ate. Spring foods were grasses,
new leaves, and flowers. In summer they munched on ripe berries
in berry patches.
Sometimes they turned over a log or rock to find tasty insects and grubs.
During the
they
found nuts
and
acorns.
The cubs grew from the 12 ounces they weighed when they were born to big,
30-pounders.
Now it is time to go to a new den.
They will spend the next six months
curled up beside Mama Bear as they sleep the winter
away. They
hibernate because there is no food during the winter.
Sleep well, three bears
spring will come again.
