Bears Basketball By Baylee

My name is Mr. Grizzly. I weigh between 200 and 1500 pounds. I teach my friend with the big ears how to play basketball.

Mr. Grizzly is a good coach. He helps me with my defense. When I practice, I leave giant footprints in the dirt.

My friends and I are practicing basketball. Mr. Grizzly is helping us get ready for the game.

During the game, two bears got into a fight. Bears can get really mean.

The referee had to give them a foul.

A referee is an official to keep the game under control and all of the players safe.

After the game, we decide to go for a swim. We like the water, especially after a long game. It cools us down. We can get our fish from a

nearby lake, pond, or river.

Please don’t eat me.

Berries and other plants are also a part of our diet.

I was really happy. We won our first game!

I was so happy, I gave the team a day off.

Some decide to take another swim.

Some even decide to take a nap.

They slept so long, they missed our next game.

I was so MAD!!!! When I get mad you should be running the other way.

I don’t know what to do. I took a walk and tried to think.

The team saw how mad I was and decided to ask the other team for a rematch.

They agreed.

So they played. I heard a lot of noise and went to see what was going on.

I was happy when the team woke up because there was a rematch.

Our final season wasn’t too bad. Maybe next year we will do better.
