       I ran and climbed up an apple tree. The bear followed me. It looked angry. It wrapped its big brown arms around the trunk of the apple tree. I was very frightened.

     Then a red truck appeared. Two men got out of the truck with a net, a pole and some fish. They managed to catch the bear in the net and put it in the truck.

        I felt very relieved to be safe from danger. I thanked the men and they gave me free tickets for the circus. I was very happy about that.
