Bear
There are eight different kinds of bears in the world. Black bears and brown
bears live in many areas of North America and polar bears live in parts of
Canada and Alaska. Many kinds of bears hibernate, or sleep in the
winter. This helps them save energy. In the winter the baby bears, or cubs,
are born.

Raccoon
The raccoon is a small mammal that looks like it's wearing a mask. It has a striped
tail. Raccoons are omnivorous, which means that they can eat many different
things. They have very dexterous paws which they can use to open containers to
get at the food inside.

Beaver
The beaver is a large rodent with a flat tail that it uses for swimming and for
balancing. The beaver is famous for its ability to build dams in rivers and
streams.

Bison
The bison, which is also called the buffalo, has a big head and curved
horns. Bison live in herds, or groups of animals, in the western United
States and Canada. An adult bison can weigh up to 2000 pounds and a
large bison can eat as much as 60 pounds of grass a day!

Moose
A moose is a member of the deer family. In the spring the male moose grows a

 SARAH’S LOVE STORY

One Saturday, Sarah woke up early. She had breakfast with her family, she had a quick shower,
and left home to work.

On her way to the office, a handsome man asked her if she knew where the closest bank
was. She told him where it was. The man asked her if she could go with him to the bank and to have
a cup of coffee afterwards. She said yes.

Sarah and the man had coffee. After that, they went to the cinema and then to a disco.
They danced for 3 hours. Sarah didn’t ask the man’s name, she didn’t add him on Facebook or
Whatsapp. At midnight, the man said he had to go to the bathroom, but he didn’t come back.
