Hunt

"We're going on a bear hunt.
We're going to catch a big one.
What a beautiful day!
We're not scared..."

...is how it’s commonly meant to go.
Bear laughs, and chucks the book into a mud patch.
“We’ll go THROUGH it,” he mocks under his breath.
“This is how it’s supposed to go,” he announces, to the great expanse of forest:

“We’re going on a child hunt.
We’re going to catch a small one.
We’re so hungry!
What a beautiful day!”
