“Where is Whiskers?”

As Lawrence poured water over the fire, Grandma grumbled out loud. “It’s not like that silly dog to run off. He’s usually afraid of his own shadow.”

She pointed up the trail. “The medicine I want grows just over that hill.” Carrying her packsack, she set off quickly with Lawrence following right behind. Their willow branch fly swatters made the only sound in the forest.

Grandma slowed down.

“Something is not right here,” she said. “All the birds are quiet.”

Lawrence looked around. The forest was still. Even the leaves seemed to have stopped rustling.

Suddenly he felt afraid.

Grandma stopped walking. “Stay behind me, Lawrence. Don’t make any noise. Keep a sharp lookout,” she ordered.

Lawrence’s thoughts raced wildly. He knew wild animals could be dangerous. What if it was a moose with big antlers? What would he do? What if it was a cougar hiding in the trees?

He crept closer to Grandma. Her eyes searched the tall grasses and willow bushes ahead, watching for movement.

Without warning, a giant grizzly reared up before them on the trail. Lawrence had never seen anything that big. The bear was as tall as their house.
