Bear's Breakfast

Finishing breakfast, preparing for another day at school, mom calmly noted the TV reporter announced locals had observed bears in the area. Most likely wandering about checking out garbage cans, nothing to worry about, just be alert.

“Am I safe? Should I stay home? Will someone take me to school? I began to fret, feeling uncomfortable not wanting to be a bears’ breakfast.”

“Tell you what, I’ll watch you walk to the corner, busy street. You should be fine after that.”
