…he started to go to the South. The way was quite long. He didn’t know anything about the trip. He stopped and he thought about his decision. It could be dangerous. He was the first animal who wanted to go to another place. He knew those things. But he thought that he was more more brave than his friends. Then he continued walking to the South. When he walked 100 kilometres he was very very tired. He thought “Why the polar bears can’t sit down? If we can sit down and don’t do anything we can be not tired in our walkings. Then we can walk faster! Oh, I’m very tired. What should I do now? I can’t sit down and I can’t have a rest. But I have to sit down. Because I am very very very tired of walking!” . Than he tried to sit down. He put his bottom on the grass. But the grass wasn’t comfortable. Because it was so cold. So he stood up and continued walking. He walked and walked. Then he came near to the ocean. He looked to the ocean and thought how he would pass it. He thought for 5 minutes. But he couldn’t find anything to do. Then he saw a boat which was very small and from Turkey. The Turkish boat came there to see how the polar bears were living. Earl tried to shout so that the boat comes and helps him. But then he remembered that he was an animal. Because of that he was very sad. Finally he understood this was not the correct way. He decided to go back home. He remembered what his mom said. She said Earl was a polar bear and thought that Earl would come back. That was why Earl’s mom wasn’t sad and scared. Then Earl went back to his home. When he went there he hugged his mom and said “Sorry mumy! I will not do such a thing again. I missed you very much! I love you mom!”
