This really happened to me. I was about fourteen years old and was camping with my best friend. It was late at night and we were in our tents reading comic books with our flash-lights and just talking. Suddenly, we heard this strange noise outside our tent. It sounded like an animal, maybe a bear or something. It was big – I know that for sure. It was growling. It was making sounds like ‘Grrr’. It was moving all round our tent and pushing against the sides. We had all our food in the tent, so we thought it was hungry. We didn’t know what to do. We were pretty frightened to bones. My friend wanted to feed it. He wanted to open the tent door and throw our food out. I didn’t want to open the door. I just wanted to make a lot of noise and try to frighten the animal away. Well, we started making noises, shouting, playing our radio loudly, banging on things – whatever we could do to scare it and make it go away. It seemed to work because we didn’t hear anything for a while. Then, suddenly, we heard a voice say, “I’m hungry as a bear.” It was my older brother.
