Go up to the Eel

Ignoring the bear's warning, you grab a net and head into the water after the eel.

The creature seems to see you coming. It raises its head out of the water and it is then that you realize that the  head of the eel is attached to about twenty more feet of eel.

That is a lot of eel.

You hesitate but the eel does not. It leaps forward, snatches you by the pant leg, and pulls you downstream.

You manage to keep your head above the water but you are drenched to the bone. The eel seems to enjoy your discomfort. After a bit it goes over a small waterfall and leaves you spinning in a whirlpool at the bottom. You struggle to the bank. Maybe you should head back to the bear. You will probably be dry by the time you finish your walk. You can look for that eel again later. Still, that was embarrassing and you hate to see the eel get away with it.

Go get that eel!


You need to go back and check on the bears now. You still think he should use the hunting contest.

You need to go back and check on the bears now. You really think he should do it by drawing numbers and you aren't all that sure he can count to twelve.
