Silly Bear Story 

The Kirkland family went camping in Yosemite National Park in northern California. They 
found a beautiful spot near a stream, and they set up their tent and started a fire. Mr. 
Kirkland left to search for more fire wood. When he returned, he saw his wife and son up 
in a tree. A mother bear was roasting hot dogs over the campfire and a baby cub was sleeping in a sleeping bag. The mother bear roared when she saw Mr. Kirkland. He was so afraid that he climbed up the same tree that held his wife and son. Do you think this is a true story? Is it fact or fiction?
