Good morning peter.

Why did you call us up early?

Did you forget where we are going today?

Uh huh, I can't wait to visit Lyra's friend.

Is it dangerous?

I heard polar bears are huge.

It also has claws and strong paws It's okay if he’s Mia's friend.

I hope so.

It'll be fine, let's go.

The weather is nice today Good morning everybody.

Good morning, Mia, how are you?

I'm great.

So glad you came here.

Let's start our journey.

You go ahead and lead the way.

Go this way.

Wow, the scenery here is so beautiful.

There's my bear.

It looks like it's sleeping.

Look, there's a red streak in the snow.

Oh my gosh, it's trapped.

Poor bear.

It must be very painful.

What do I have to do now?

Let me have a look.

Do you know what you're doing?

Of course, I know, I took a first aid course.

But this is a bear.

Probably the same.

Calm down and let him work, we don't have any other choice.

You have to remove the lever first.

We have to remove the trap first.

We have to stop the bleeding quickly because he's already lost a lot of blood.

Can anyone give me the first aid kit on the snowmobile?

Done, now we'll put it in the snowmobile and bring it back to the ship, there's a vet there.

Poor you, it will be okay.

Do you have a name for him?

His name is Buddy.

That's a good name.

The name means a close friend in English.

Don't worry, it's not too dangerous.

That bear is snarling at us.

It's Buddy's friend.

We should go, maybe he thinks we're hurting Buddy.

It's okay, it knows me and Mia so it won't attack us.

Let's get in the car now, well if we carry bears we won't have enough room.

We have to leave some things behind because the bear is too heavy, the snowmobile won't

work.

You just take Buddy back to the ship first.

We will be here waiting.

I want to go with Buddy.

Please wait here and don't go far, we'll be right back.

We will be fine.

There's our ship.

How to get Buddy on board?

I will call the captain to support.

Hi Peter, what's going on.

I have an injured polar bear.

Why do you have a bear?

It's a long story, I'll tell you later.

Okay, how can we help?

I gave first aid to the bear, now I need a vet to check it out.

I will call the vet right away.

He looks so gentle.

He's a friendly bear.

Is he okay?

The wound wasn't too dangerous, but he lost a lot of blood.

Man: So what do we do with him?

He needs special care for at least three weeks before being released into the wild.

But we have to leave soon.

So let him follow us.

We don't have a cage He's so friendly, he could be on a ship like

everyone else.

It's very dangerous, everyone on the ship will be very worried.

If I follow him to take care of him, will you accept it

You have to ask your father's permission first.

I'm so nervous, you've never been so far from home.

Please, dad, Buddy needs me, and I'm on vacation so it won't affect my studies.

You can rest assured that we are here.

Moreover, this is a good opportunity for her to learn English.

Alright, I hope everything will be fine.

Thank you, daddy.

You stay here with Buddy, Peter and I will be back to pick up the rest.

Well, we'll have to wait here for hours.

This is probably going to be boring.

What are we going to do while we wait?

Let's enjoy the scene.

Here is just a white of ice and snow.

I have a survival manual in this cold place.

You're being too careful, but we should also check it out.

The knowledge that sometimes we will need.

The first part is how to avoid the bears.

Sounds interesting, but we found a bear ourselves.

Buddy is our friend so it doesn't count.

Some of the most important things are to keep your distance and not surprise the bears.

Most bears will avoid humans if they hear us coming.

How to deal with an encounter with a bear?

Speak calmly so the bear knows you are a person and not a predator.

Be calm because most bears don't want to attack you, they usually just want to be left alone.

Follow groups of people, so bears will perceive noise at a longer distance, groups are scary

to bears.

Make yourself look as big as possible.

How can I make myself bigger?

Move to higher ground, you will be bigger.

Should I run?

Do not run.

Bears can run as fast as racehorses both uphill and downhill and will often chase animals

that are running away.

What should I do?

If the bear runs after you, stop and stand your ground.

What do I do when the bear is stationary?

Move away slowly and sideways.

Why do I have to do that?

This will help you avoid tripping and keep an eye out for the bear.

Should I climb a tree?

Where can I find a tree in a cold place like this?

Both black and grizzly bears can climb trees.

Please leave the area or take a detour.

What if I can't leave?

Always leave the bear an escape route and wait until the bear moves away.

Let's change the topic.

Is this topic not interesting?

No, I feel a bit scared when I remember Buddy's friend's eyes looking at us.

He knows we're Buddy's friends.

What if another bear attacks us.

I have Bear Pepper Spray.

Is it to spray on bears?

It is used defensively to stop an aggressive bear, when the bear rushes in or attacks.

Why do you have it?

A friend on the ship told me I was going to see a bear.

A friend on the ship gave it to me when he knew I was going to see a bear.

Having it makes me feel more secure.
