Gros Ours Affam?

See below for English description.

Gros Ours n'est pas de bonne humeur. Il n'a pas mang? depuis tr?s longtemps et il n'a m?me pas r?ussi ? mettre la patte sur quelques poissons ? faire griller. Or, voil? qu'il rencontre un ours polaire qui lui, a eu la patte heureuse mais cherche d?sesp?r?ment un abri. Ce n'est pas t?che facile mais c'est assur?ment mieux que de n'avoir rien ? se mettre sous la dent, surtout lorsqu'on est un gros ours affam?...

Bear was in a grumpy mood. He hadn't eaten any food and he couldn't catch a single fish to cook. That is until he met a polar bear who had lots of fish but nowhere to live. Finding a home for a polar bear is not an easy task but it sure beats being in a grumpy mood because you're out of food...Original title: The Very Hungry Bear
