About that bear

"Well we have no choice we have to hunt down the bear" said Doris "we can't get in the truck or in the cabin with out keys". "Maybe we'll be lucky and it will have dropped the bag or at least the keys out of it while rummaging through it looking for food" said Kim. Judy still had her head lamp placed firmly on her head and her water wings on from the canoe ride the other girls had their flashlights and lanterns so off they went in the direction they last heard the whistle. SHREEEEE SHREEEEeeee there the whistle went again but the noise tapered off. The girls hurried along the path the last whistle sounded like it was moving farther away. Kim leading the way tripped over something which brought them all to a screeching halt piling into one another. Shining their flashlights down they saw a book titled "How not to get lost in the woods". "That's my book it was in my bag! said Judy. "I'm surprised" Shauna said Sarcastically "Only you would bring a self help book camping" she added. "Well it might have helped if my bag hadn't gotten stolen by a bear!" cried Judy as she scooped it up and clutched it close to her heart. On down the path they went looking from side to side as they went. "There ahead I hear something rustling" said Doris me too said the rest of the girls. As they all raised their lights to shine down the path there eating graham crackers and yogos sat a RACOON! Whistle and bag partially dumped out in front of it. BEAR? said Doris That is the smallest bear I have ever seen as she looked over at Judy. They all moved in slowly to see how it was going to react hoping it would frighten and run off but leave the goods behind. Judy grabbed a big stick and started making whacking noises on the ground as they moved closer. It was enough to scare the coon and he left the bag and whistle and scampered off down the path with a bag of yogos hanging out of his mouth. Judy grabbed her bag and they started picking up the things that had been dumped out, a magnifying glass, the keys to kims truck, and ink pen, ibuprofen,twine, a can of tuna, a head band with antennae and balls attached, a lady bug spotted flip flop, suspenders, each item odder than the next and the whole bag had not been dumped. The girls looked at each other with each bizarre item and passed them along to Judy who did not try to explain just gleefully grabbed them and stuffed them back in her bag. "Is that it asked Kim"? "I don't see anything else" said Judy "Do you have the keys to the cabin" asked Shauna "Yep they were left in the bag" said Judy. Just about that time a huge branch cracked and there was big movement in the woods ahead and on the right. "WHAT WAS THAT" they all said looking at one another. "It's the bear said Judy RUNNN"! She was more afraid of what was behind her than the dark ahead she already headed down the path in a full run the rest of the girls following along behind not waiting to see what it was for sure.
