By: Shawn, Savannah and Allie
This is Allie, which is acting as baby bear, and the Narrator.
This is Shawn who is acting as Papa Bear.
And I am acting as Gloria Vanderbilt. She is a jean designer and
invents perfume. Her uncle invented Broma Headache Seltzer.
I am also going to be Mama Bear in this story. Enjoy!
Once upon a time at the Great Camp Sagamore there lived 3 bears, Mama
Bear, Papa Bear and Baby Bear.
One Morning while waiting for their Broma Headache Seltzer to be
delivered they strolled to town to purchase some Gloria Vanderbilt
designer jeans on sale in Raquette Lake.
Papa Bear tried his jeans on first and said, “These are too big!” Next
Mama Bear tried her jeans on and said, “These jeans are too
tight!” Then Baby Bear tried his jeans and said, “Oh my, oh my,
these jeans are just right!” So Papa bought them and they headed
for home. On the way they saw Gloria Vanderbilt and she noticed the bag
from the store. Gloria went to their house to make Mama and Papa
jeans that will fit just right.
Papa Bear said, “Now make mine big but not too big uhh, size 12.”
Mama Bear said, “Make mine small but not too small, uh how about size
9.”
Baby Bear said, “ As a matter of fact, do not make any for me I
already have some.”
“All right then !” said Gloria. The next morning the Bear Family awoke
to new jeans.
“These fit perfect!”
“Mine are great!”
The Bear Family was very happy and Gloria headed home to Mount Marcy!

President
Grant and the Hike
By: Amanda, Marissa, Ben and Cameron
Once upon a time there was a president named Mr. Grant. One day
he went on vacation in the Adirondacks. The President said, “Well
I’m all packed up and I’m ready to climb.” When he arrived he
started to climb the Mount McGregor.
While he was climbing he said, “ Wow!” “I’m already in the middle
of the Mountain!” All of a sudden he heard a noise, it was a
bear. He started to run and he yelled, “AHHHHHHH!” The
Adirondack Black Bear chased him and the bear went,
“Grrrrrrrrrrr!” The president ran and ran until he found a cave
and the bear lost sight and ran off.
President Grant went into the cave and while in the cave he heard growl
like, “grrrrrr!” The President thought it was the bear again but
it was a wolf. The wolf chased the President all the way to the
top of the mountain and the wolf ran off.
The President said, “ Wow, I guess I am now the first President to
climb Mount McGregor!” They all lived happily ever after.
