Fill in the Blanks Exercise
Mark: This really to me. I was about 10 years old and was camping with my best friend. It was late at night, and we were in our tents reading comic books with our flashlights and just talking. Suddenly, we heard this outside our tent. It sounded like an animal, maybe a bear or something. It was big – I know sure. It was growling – it was making sounds like “Grrr.” It was moving all around our tent and pushing against the sides. We had all our food in the tent, so we thought hungry. We didn’t know what to do – we were pretty , to be honest. My friend wanted to feed it. He wanted to open the tent door and throw our food out. I didn’t want to open the door. I just wanted to make noise and try to frighten the animal away. Well, we started making noises – shouting, playing our radio loudly, banging on things – whatever we could do to scare it and make it go away. It seemed to work, because we didn’t hear anything a while. Then, suddenly, we heard a voice say, “I’m as hungry as a bear.” It was my older brother.
