Brainstorm Bear

Brainstorm Bear

Sam was setting up tables in the driveway. He noticed a brown bear up a tree nearby. " Mom, there's a bear over there! " Sam called.

“ What if it comes down and attacks us?" asked Sam's little sister Sarah. Mrs. Miller took Sarah's hand. " We'll keep a safe distance away, " she replied.

" We need to get the bear down before our yard sale starts, " Sam said. " We could always cancel the yard sale, " Mrs. Miller said. " I put up so many signs, " Sam groaned. " I know we can get the bear to come down if we just brainstorm the right idea. "

" Like the idea you had for the squirrels?" his mom asked. Two weeks before, Sam tried to stop the squirrels from eating all the birdseed. He dug a pit around the bird feeder and ruined his mother's tulips.

" This is different, " Sam said. " I promised you I'd draw all my ideas first before I actually do anything. " " We could move our trampoline under the tree so the bear could jump onto it, " Sarah suggested.
