Sarah and Jimmy visited Denali National Park. It was a clear, sunny day. 

The ride started calmly as the bus started on the road into the Park, and the views were magnificent.

Further into the ride, Billy’s heart went from calm to racing at top speed. 

The bus was traveling on a ribbon of a road, and looking out the window, all Billy saw was blue sky and a deep valley below that looked ten thousand feet deep; he did not see the edge of the road.

He was scared.

The bus driver saw a Mama Bear and her two cubs. He stopped and pointed to them.

The driver said, "Get your cameras ready, there is a Mama bear and her two cubs to the right of us." 

One cub was close to Mom, and the other stood farther away on a rock, crying out.

The Mama Bear raised her head and gave out a call. She slowly walked in the direction of her crying baby.

Reunited, the lost cub came down from the rock, and the other young cub slapped the head of the lost cub.

Jimmy told Sarah, “Did you see the head slap? That's the big sister doing Mom's work.”
