Chapter 1

  Howdy friend! My name is Nibly the bear. I’d like to tell you of my visit to the people town of Nelson, BC. It was just this spring when the high mountain snows were dwindling fast in my area of British Columbia, Canada.

  I was bored with eating nuts and berries way up here in the high tops of these mountains. These mountains here are part of the Rocky Mountain range. I didn’t like having to catch fish in the icy streams either.

  So I made myself a plan, and stopped by one fine day to talk about it with my friend Johnny bear. There he was! I had found Johnny busily tending to a huckleberry bush in his patch, which was right near his stand of wild raspberry bushes. Johnny came right now to give me some extra special advice.

 “Hello Nibly,” Johnny said, greeting me on the mountain trail, which ran by his place.

“Hi Johnny, I wanted to talk at ya a minute,” I said.

 And so I told my friend Johnny all about my plan.

“Are you Serious?” exclaimed Johnny.

  But then Johnny thought a minute and then he launched into his best, bear buddy advice that he could give me.

Johnny put his arm around me and said;

“Well my friend, perhaps I can give you a little advice.”

“Please do Johnny,” I said.

“The first thing I’d advise you about is; you need to look more human. So when you get down to the people town, you need to pick up a shirt and some shorts.”

“Why the shirt and shorts John?” I asked.

“Well, ya see Nib, to put it nicely, most humans are Prudes, and they won’t think nicely about you, unless you look snappy in some kind of human suit.”

“Ok John, what’s next?” I asked.

“Well most handsome young guys wear a ball cap. Sports are what humans’ worship you know. So you need to be a good deacon and- “Stuff the ball cap! I don’t like things on my head! Remember that year when that pesky Ranger bonked me on the head with that club,” I said.

  I thought better of my outburst and I apologized, “I am sorry, please go on John.”

“Oh ya, I forgot about that! Skip the ball cap thing,” said Johnny.

 “What you need next is to get a hold of some of that paper that humans use to trade with; sometimes it comes in round metal discs as well as paper. The humans call it, money.”

 “OK, get myself some money, got it!”

 “And one more thing, you should ask about recommendations on just which place you will find the best eats and vittles in.”

  And so, I bid farewell to my friend Johnny bear, and off I went down through the underbrush on my way to the human town of Nelson, BC. I blazed my own trail and that took a bit of doing too.

Chapter 2

  Coming near the town, I came across a cute little bridge by a nice river and little waterfall. I saw a bench and sat down to rest myself.

  After my long walk into the people town, I felt the cool water spray that came off the flowing waterfall and river. It was really nice! So I took a rest right there for a while.

  After a bit, I remembered Johnny’s advice and I looked around and nearby, I saw a line of clothes. There on the line was a pair of green shorts and a red & white striped shirt.
