Confrontation

The children ran from the bear, and when they realized he wasn't following them, 
they turned and peered from the bushes to see what he was up to....

The bear had made himself comfortable on their bench, and was sampling all their treats...

Efreet had had enough. "The park ranger says people should never run from a bear, but should back away slowly. If it charges them, they should confront it, making themselves as big as possible, and yelling loudly, to scare it off. There's six of us, and just one of him, and he's eating all our food! I'm going to go scare him off. Who's coming with me?"

Erzulie and Bonnie went with Efreet to confront the bear.

"Hey you!  Bear!  What are you doing eating all our treats?  Who do you think you are invading on our picnic like this?!?  You weren't invited!  We don't want you here!  GO AWAY!!!!"

The bear started to cry.....
