  • 1. A small bear story

2. One day at the Calgary Zoo, 3. a polar bear killed another polar bear by holding his head under water until he drowned. 4. People were horrified that such a huge fluffy beast could be so cruel. 5. People thought it was a tragedy. 6. What do people know? 7. Its all a matter of perspective. 8. For all we know it could have been a love story. 9. Who knows what those bears get to talking about in the middle of the night. 10. Maybe the one polar bear told the other polar bear that he just couldnt take it anymore. 11. There was no where to run. 12. All they ever got to eat was dead frozen fish. 13. And what about all those people staring at them all day long. And taking flash photo after flash photo even though they werent suppose too. 14. Maybe all the one polar bear had to look forward to was the dark the of night. 15. And the night wasnt even that dark, because the polar bears lived in a zoo next to Memorial Drive in a big money city with big bright lights. 16. Its possible that with the endless click click click of the cameras, something went click click click inside the head of one of the polar bears. 17. There were several attempts at self- drowning. 18. The one polar bear would swallow enough water to sink himself to the bottom of the small pool in the zoo enclosure. 19. He would lay there, hoping against all hope that the weight of his mammalian bulk would be enough to keep him from rising up to the surface again. 20. But time after time gravity betrayed him and the inevitable resurrection came. 21. So one day, the one polar bear told the other polar bear about how he suffered. 22. Then the one polar bear asked the other polar bear to hold his head underwater until it was done. 23. And the asked polar bear said yes and it was done. 24. Not in the privacy of night when the zoo is closed, but in broad daylight as the people watched and their cameras clicked and their flashes flashed. 25. Its almost like those polar bears were trying to tell the people something, doing the do in the broad daylight like that. 26. Who knows. 27. The one polar bear didnt leave a note and the other polar bear didnt really understand anything. He was just doing what the one polar bear needed him to do. 28. Was it a tragedy ? 29. Or was it a love story? 30. Does it matter? 31. In the end, the other polar bear, the one who did the do, was shot and killed. 32. Two dead polar bears. Hmmm
