Booboo’s Picnic Encounter!

Once Upon a time, there lived a bear named Booboo. Booboo wanted to go out. Then Booboo’s Mom suggested they could have a picnic! Booboo got excited and agreed to have a picnic. Booboo and his parents started thinking where they could have their picnic. Then Lily(Booboo’s mom) suggested that they go near the lake. Booboo said, “We could bring chips and chocolates!” But Lily said “It’s better to bring healthy things like salad and sandwiches”. Booboo got sad. Just then, Lily said, “Ok, let’s have a fish and honey party!” Booboo got happy and said, “We can bring fish sandwiches, fish salad, fried fish, roasted fish and a lot of honey!” Then James (Booboo’s father) said “Ya!” as he was quite a foodie. But Lily quickly said, “But we will also bring some fruits.” Booboo was fine with that. The next day, Lily and James woke up early and prepared the food. Booboo woke up by the smell of fish being made! He then quickly got dressed (Of course even booboo’s family was stylish) and waited for his parents to get dressed. When they were done, they packed the food in a HUGE bag and took off to the lake. When they reached the picnic spot, Booboo wanted to start eating immediately. But then Lily said, “Booboo, roam around for a bit. You aren’t even hungry. Roaming around will make you hungry. But don’t go in the jungle.” Well, you know kids. They always do the opposite of what they are told to do. So Booboo went into the jungle. As he was going in, he heard some noises coming from the bushes. He thought to himself, “Shall I go in? I am Half-scared but half-brave. I’ll go in. What is the worst that can happen?” Saying this to himself, Booboo went in. When he looked behind the bush, he saw nothing. Again, he heard a noise. He went to explore it. He again saw nothing. Like this, Booboo was getting lured in the deep parts of the jungle. Then suddenly, he saw a Cat! He thought, “Hmm, a cat! It would be fun to attack the cat. Cause, how hard would it be to take down a cat?” But, he was wrong. When he attacked the cat, the cat dodged. Again, Booboo attacked. The cat dodged that too. Instead, the cat pounced on him and Booboo was on the floor. Booboo pushed the cat away and stood up. Just as he did that, the cat said, “Now, it’s my turn” And as she said that, she kicked Booboo. Booboo started crying. His parents came and started calming Booboo down. Then he scolded the cat. The cat said, “I am sorry about your son! You see, I am the last of my type so I need to protect myself as much I could. But it’s not my fault, your son had attacked me.” Then Lily asked Booboo, “Is this true Booboo that you attacked this cat first?” Booboo said, “Yes. I attacked the cat first. I just thought it would be fun to take it down.” The cat then said “Well, My name is Micko, the cat. But you can call me Micko. Hmm, I smell fish. You bears wanna join?” Booboo’s family laughed. Booboo said, “Me and my family are having a fish and honey party! Do you wanna join?” Onhearing this, Micko was happy. Sure! He said, and together, they went, enjoyed their picnic and became best friends forever.
