A surprise in the forest

My home is in the centre of a large city. The city centre is busy and noisy, and the traffic is terrible. So when our family goes on holiday, we usually travel somewhere relaxing.

Last summer, we stayed in a hotel in the countryside. It was quiet there, but it wasn’t boring. I went cycling with my brother a few times. We explored the forest near the hotel, too.

One morning, we were walking in the forest when we heard a noise. Something was climbing up a tree. It was a bear! It was quite close to us. “Is it dangerous?” I asked my brother. ”I’m not sure,” he answered.

Soon the bear stopped climbing. I quickly took my mobile phone out of my bag. While the bear was sitting comfortably in the tree, I took a photo. Then we ran back to the hotel! We got back to the hotel safely, and I uploaded the photo to my web page.

It was an interesting but scary experience. After that, we didn’t go back to the forest!
