The Adventures of Arti



Шуйская Валерия Владиславовна. 11 лет. The Adventures of Arti. 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 ...

bear.
It was a little polar bear. I thought that he had lost his mum.
I took the bear in my hands and decided to call him Arti.
In several hours my friends woke up.
When they saw Arti, they were suprised.
But everybody liked him, especially our chief.
Arti was allowed to live with us.
We played with him, looked after him and even brushed his fur every day.Arti accompanied me when I was on polar bear watch.
Once when Arti and I were sitting and playing with a ball, we saw something.
But me couldn't understand what it was because there was a heavy snowfall.
Suddenly Arti darted off. He recognized his mum, which he hadn't seen for several weeks.
Arti's mother came to me and gave my hand a friendly lick.
I took the words out of her mouth, that she was grateful to me for my help.
And I was happy to see that Arti and his mummy had found each other.
