The amazing bear Jonathan

Once upon a time, a little boy was born to a kind woman called Robin Furry. He was named Sam, and was lovingly raised among the berry bushes of his village. Inquisitive and adventurous, as children tend to be, Sam began exploring his home as soon as his tiny hands could hold a basket. However, upon arriving at the south-eastern corner of the settlement, the boy came upon a truly grisly sight: a bear was lurking at the edge of his home, looking for easy prey!

Sam stopped in his tracks, panic gripping his heart. He took off towards the village center, to warn the others, and find a safe corner to hide. On the way, however, he noticed a completed, yet vacant sheep pen, made of beautifully crafted fences, and ancient, planted trees. Seeing the structure, a brilliant idea entered the child's mind.

Sam ran back to the edge of town. The bear was still there, lunging at a helpless man, who was trying to avoid it while carrying supplies back to the town. The boy took a deep breath, and began dancing and singing, just a few meters away from the beast, making as much noise as possible. The trick worked: Sam now had the bear's attention, and it lunged for him hungrily. He nimbly avoided its swipes, and began to lead it back to the sheep pen. It took him a while to get there, and he feared for his compatriots when it seemed the beast was eager to head into the town center for a quick snack. Finally, though, he managed to lure it into his trap without causing any casualties, and with unparalleled dexterity, the boy avoided its attacks once more, exiting the pen-turned-cage, slamming the gate shut, and building a large stone pillar in front of it for good measure.

The threat now neutralized, Sam stared at his new pet bear, as it wandered and explored its new home. He named the creature Jonathan, and proudly showed him to his mother, who congratulated the boy for his cleverness. Sam had grand plans for his bear; he wanted to open a zoo, to show his achievement to everyone, and maybe to even teach Jonathan a trick or two; it couldn't be all that different from training a dog, could it?

But the townsfolk were not too interested in the captured beast. And, unfortunately, Jonathan was not too keen on discipline, not even when he was fed delicious mutton over the fence. His way of expressing gratitude seemed to be swiping with his claws and growling angrily, and words like 'sit' or 'stay' were lost to him. Thus Sam, now a strapping young lad, gave up on his quest.

The young man went on to live a long, and somewhat uneventful life. He kept his mother, Robin, company during her final years; by the way she spoke to him, he gathered that he might just be her favorite child, which inflated his ego just a bit more. After her death, he buried her next to Jonathan's cage, whom the old woman had begun to consider part of the family. Even the beast seemed sad to see her go; although it might have been the delicious meat pie that Sam was holding that made Jonathan do the puppy eyes. He made her a headstone and wrote her a note:

And after that, seeing how some curious people would stop to look at Jonathan after all, he made a beautiful pamphlet using his unparalleled creativity and skill at calligraphy:

Sam eventually died of old age, satisfied with his grand achievements, right next to his mother's grave.

(The bear was a bit jittery and camera-shy, but you can still see its lil furry legs on the very top of the pics)

Oh did you use a mod to write extra words on a paper and to show your age and stats? What mod is it?

It's Awbz's mod. It zooms in and out dynamically, and provides info about your age and lineage, and has some other functions, but it doesn't allow you to write more words on paper, haha. I just waited until I was around 50 years old, so I could say more, and then wrote the messages.

You can download the mod here: https://github.com/Awbz/OneLife

I was your mom, Robin Furry ^^

How sweet making me a grave, thank you darlin ! When people told me that there was a bear south east of town, I took the bow and only arrow we had to shoot the bear and maybe lead him away from town. But then I came across the pen and there a saw the bear, captured. It was a great idea capturing the bear in the pen ! Too bad he didn't want to learn any tricks ...

You were my favorite child, your sister was very distant to me and didn't talk much. But shhh don't tell her
