It was a nice Spring season. A new start this year just like how last season was Winter. They changed, everything starts new. Though, the clouds had rolled in from last night, meaning that there would be a storm very soon later today. With the animals waking up from hibernation, moving around and enjoying the fresh air, Elan was wandering around as if nothing important had happened.  Elan was a bear, or more so, a human spirit trapped in a bear body. Therefore, he found hibernating in the Winter, boring. Too much sleep. He felt that living each day was what life was about, not sleeping through a quarter of it. As he wandered the forest a bit, he came to a river, lowering his head to drink some of the water. Beyond the trees, he could see the homes of some Native Americans off in the distance a little ways.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Native Americans... I use to be one... Why I was punished like this.. I do not know..</span>he thought as he lapped at the water. He sat down by the river, watching the fish swim by. He always had a difficult time catching them. Every time he would try, they would slip from his grasp. Maybe because he was clumsy, or doing it wrong. Elan swiped a paw into the water, scooping up a Salmon, but it slipped from his paw and he had to reach out to grab it with his other paws, but instead, missed it, and fell into the river. He raised his head out of the water, gasping for air as he looked around.<span style="font-style: italic">Dumb Salmon...</span>he thought as he tried to pull himself out of the water. He sat there in the grass like a soggy brown lump, clearly upset with himself. He had always lived off of berries and fruits, never fish because he could never catch one. He wished he was a human again, but he knew very well that he couldn't.
