My saviour



Бусыгина Ангелина Юрьевна. 11 лет. 6 класс. My saviour. HIGH.

Before I took part in the Expedition through the Arctic, I had lived by a schedule. In the Arctic you lose sense of time. Having 24 hours of sunlight we could start our hiking at what we thought was 3 PM but it was actually 3 AM.
Our entire being was focused on one thing: survival.
That day or night (I can’t say for sure) I was on polar bear watch while the others were sleeping.
I didn’t have to fall asleep so I looked outside for some fresh air and came face to face with a ...

polar bear.
It was very big and of course I was frightened of it.
It looked at me with its dark eyes and I thought that the animal was very dangerous. It could break me into small pieces. Quickly I came in, looked at my sleeping friends and recognized that the polar bear was dangerous not only for me but for my friends too. That was why I decided to take the bear away. I didn’t think about myself but about my friends. I went out and began to run as far as possible to save my friends. The bear run after me. I didn’t know the way I was running.
I saw only the white snow under my feet. I knew only one thing - I was a tasty food for the bear.
The bear was running after me and I heard its hard breath. We reached the ice bank of the lake with ice-free water.
Suddenly I saw another polar bear which was swimming in the lake.
I saw the reaction of that bear, it was surprised to see a man and to see the rival pretended on its place.
Every animal has its own territory to walk, to hunt, to swim. It didn’t want to share the place for swimming with somebody.
I understood quickly that I was not interesting for the swimming bear but my running partner was. The bears began to fight.
A swimming bear was my saviour.
It wasn’t important for me who would be a winner.
It was more important for me to come back to my friends.
