One sunny afternoon, a fat grizzly bear was walking along the riverbank. The river was flowing softly along and water was sparkling in the sun. What could go wrong?, Bear thought.
Then, there it was, there were no fish in the river. There was just slimy rocks and dirt on the bottom of the river. Bear was famished and couldn't go another second without eating a fish. Then, a shadow of a fish swam by Bear. He quickly turned around and chased after it.
"A fish! I will catch you! Stop trying to swim away!", screamed Bear.
Fish darted down the river bank as fast as he could. Fish was just about to swim away into his home when Bear picked him up. Fish slipped out of his tight grip and slid down a path of mud. He tried his best to wiggle his body into a small tunnel opening, but it was too late.
Bear stabbed his claws into Fish and had too tight of a grip for Fish to swim away.
"Stop Bear! Please don't eat me! There are many other fish too eat in this river.", Fish yelled.
"Why shouldn't I eat you? There are no more fish because I've eaten them all up.", Bear answered
"Well, I am very small. A fat bear like you needs more then a scrawny fish like me, too satisfy him.", Fish convinced Bear.
"You do have a point Fish.", Bear said.
"So you should make me a meal, to fatten me up.", Fish suggested.
Bear quickly ran over too the far side of the forest and caught two rabbits and one deer. He swiftly came running back to Fish.
"Bear, these animals are huge! They look delightful.", Fish said in astonishment.
Bear collected many small twigs and started a fire. He began too cook the animals. Bear slowly roasted the rabbit and cooked the deer for just the right amount of time. He served Fish many plates of rabbit and deer.
"Here you go Fish! This is all of the food that should fatten you up so I can eat you.", Bear served Fish.
Fish took huge bites of the tender animals. The juices fell off the fork after each bite he took.
"Bear, this is very delightful food. You are a great cook.", Fish said.
"Great, now can I eat you Fish?", Bear asked angrily.
Bear was just about to put Fish in his mouth when Fish interrupted him again. He slowly took Fish down from his lips.
"What now Fish?", Bear yelled.
"Well, I am a very slimy fish. Do you really want to eat a slimy, smelly, fish?", Fish asked.
"You are right, Fish. I think I should clean you up.", Bear said.
"Exactly what I was thinking.", Fish said with a sly smile.
Bear scooped up handfuls of water from the clean riverbank. He dumped them all over Fish until he was spotless. Then, Bear was just about to eat Fish when he interrupted him for a second time.
"Why do you want to eat me? There are so many other palatable things in the forest for you to eat.", Fish cried.
"No, there is nothing else in the forest like fish.", Bear replied.
"Well, there are very delectable blueberry bushes. There are extravagant rabbits foot, not to mention they are also lucky. And I hear the wolves are also one of the most mouth water animals here. You are also a great cook, don't forget that.", Fish explained.
"You foolish fish, I wouldn't try too get tangled up in a fight with a wolf. But, the blueberry bushes do sound delicious.", Bear said casually.
Immediately, an idea popped into Fishes head, he could trade with Bear. If Fish led Bear to the juiciest blueberry bushes in the forest then Bear would have to let him go. He told Bear about this trade and Bear agreed.
"But Bear in addition to not eating me you mustn't ever eat another fish in the lurks of this forest again.", Fish commanded.
"That would be a hard task Fish but I will do it.", Bear agreed.
Everyday from then on Fish guided Bear to the most mouth watering, delectable blueberry bushes in the forest. Bear never ate another fish in the forest again, so the population of the fish in the river grew.
**So, I had to write this a looong time ago for an English project. I thought, why not post it?**
