Summary

Thank you to those who requested this story. In our short story, Bruno the Bear is tired of being known as the clumsiest animal in the Canadian forest. When he finally manages to catch something impressive—a plump ptarmigan—he can't wait to show off his amazing accomplishment to everyone. But when his friend Rusty the Fox seems more interested in discussing the weather than admiring Bruno's prize, things don't go quite as planned.
