This was the last class assignment. We were to tell a story based on
a dream. This story has a half-truth. My mother put me in a basket and
placed me on a picnic table outside our home in the Columbia River Gorge.
I was sleeping and she returned to her house work. She happened to look
out the kitchen window only to see a bear on the table looking at me
as if I were lunch. Mother, "Yellow Hawk", ran out screaming
and scared the bear away.
