Silly Bear Story

Read the simple story about the Kirkland family’s camping trip. Play the video at the end of the post to hear the story and improve your English listening skills.

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 firewood. 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?
