Andrew the Bear

Once upon a time, there was a Bear named Andrew. Andrew lived with a Lion named Jack. They lived in a Tipi near a forest. Andrew was very good at turning people into animals. Andrew was so good at turning people into animals he could do 20 at a time.
One hot summer night Jack the Lion asked Andrew the Bear to go to Donnie’s Castle because Jack wanted to have dinner with Donnie. But said, “Whatever you do don’t go into the Devil’s Forest.”
Andrew the Bear put on an orange fleece jacket and a baseball cap. Andrew the Bear packed a water bottle and his magic wand. He gave his friend a handshake and a yodel and went off on his journey.
It was a warm clear summer night. The ground was wet but very soggy. Andrew the Bear felt a mix of emotions at that time. As Andrew walked the path down to Donnie’s Castle he felt happy. The weather was very nice. The air was cold though. Andrew felt sad as he stepped to the cold summer night.
After a few hours Andrew was tired because he had to walk for 2 hours straight. As he walked farther, dirt turned to mud but Andrew got mad because it would take him 3 more hours.
Andrew stopped because he was very tired. Suddenly Andrew smelled a fresh batch of brownies and ran right over to that place he smelled and ran into a forest, a very dusty forest.
Out of now where Andrew was stuck. Andrew thought he was stepping in something red with a mix of yellow and orange and it was very sticky. He peered at the trees in the dusty old forest. As he was there he could hear the birds chirping and whistling. Then he could smell her, he could hear her, and most of all he could see her, Kaka Pegaka, the snake one of the only in this very big forest. Then she started to talk to Andrew on what she was going to do. She said “I am going to keep you here and make you work in my makeup store for the rest of your life.” Andrew trembled led down to his knees and said ’’Why am I here?”
Andrew had to think like never before! But then he had a great idea. He thought if he challenged her to a race and turned himself into an animal like a lion, or a tiger then he could just roar and make Kaka Pegaka run like a Bear who just got sprayed by a skunk. So he said “ I want to challenge you to a race.” So Kaka Pegaka said “Ok” and Andrew changed himself into a Tiger and roared so loud Kaka Pegaka ran all the way into the woods. But Andrew ran back to where the palace was.
Andrew ran so fast he was there in under a second. When Andrew got there Donnie was playing basketball on a magical cloud with a frog. Andrew asked if Donnie would like to come to dinner with Jack the Lion. Donnie accepted and said “Thank you”. Donnie said, “Let me give me you a magical carriage to go home.” And in 2 seconds he was home. When Andrew got home he asked, “Did you go into the Devil’s forest” Andrew could not lie and said, “Yes.” Jack said, “You are grounded for 1 month.”
