A Little Adventure

Tom and Becky are really good friends and live just across the street from each other. Becky is a little taller then Tom and has brown hair, they are both 11 years old. Tom has red hair and is very adventurous. One day Tom and Becky were sitting in the grass thinking of something to do, when a big black bear came running towards them out of nowhere. They weren't scared at all, but curious so they followed the bear as it headed into the forest behind them. They were too slow though because the bear was gone, but that didn't stop looking. There were a few footsteps Becky noticed but Tom didn't see and when Becky yelled, "watch out!" Tom walked right into the bears poo pile. Tom had slid and almost landed in to poo on his back, good thing he has good balance and caught himself before he fell. Becky just giggled at Tom. He didn't seem to like that very much and told Becky to shut up, she said that wasn't very nice to say and they went back to walking. There was a river ahead and a bunch of footsteps around and it looked like there was a bunch of them on the other side too. Becky and Tom decided they were going to cross the river and continue searching for the bear. They had to walk on stones, Tom got across quickly and was trying to help Becky the best he could. She was really nervous and kept thinking she was going to fall in, but Tom assured her she would be fine and would only fall in if she kept thinking about it. When Becky finally made it across, they walked a little longer and found a small cave. They were a little afraid of what could be in it, but didn't want to show each other anymore fear. Tom had a lighter in his pocket, one he had stolen from his dad's jacket, and used it so they could see. They had only gone a couple yards into the cave when they saw a big black pile of something. It moved...they kept staring at it, soon they realized it was the big black bear they had followed into the woods. Tom and Becky ran back to their houses and decided to never tell anyone about it because someone might have the bear removed. They named it Stinker from the long walk it had brought them on and for Tom's shoe. Tom and Becky continue to visit the black bear and hid it from everyone.
