The sky had opened wide, the rain pouring down for the first time in several months, longed for, before the crops had died and the forest had turned brown.Now the dry hills had turned muddy, coming sliding down at him, where he stood outside in it, trying to hold the hungry beast off.
The  thunderous roars of the large brown bear mixed with the agonizing screams of the woman. Nervously turning around he looked towards the house where she was laying in child birth, screaming at the top of her lungs. This turned out to be a mistake he realized when the bear lunged at him, the large paws sweeping by,drawing the claws across his upper arm.Leather splitting open in an instant just as easily as his skin did to let the blood gush out of the wound it left behind.
His grip on he handle of the axe was tightening as the large bears jaws once again opened, baring its fangs, letting out another roar so fierce the ground was shaking beneath him.
Suddenly, another sound came through the air, an angry shriek that carried stronger that one would have thought possible,stopping the large bear in its tracks, forcing it down on all fours again. It was almost like the animal was bearing a look of surprise in its beady,  black eyes when it came to a sudden halt , curiously getting up on its hind legs before bolting, running back into the forest.
Amazed and surprised he flung the door open, not caring about the large wound on his arm, and rushed to his woman." My son! He has the spirit of a bear in him! He will be a great fighter!"  he exclaimed proudly as he looked at the small babe in his woman's arms.Blinking , he took another good look at it before lifting his eyes to her and say " It's a She-bear!"
