A little bear and its family lived happily in a beautiful forest near mountains until a fire started by hunters destroyed much of the forest. The fire caused many trees and some animals to die, leaving the forest without life. Ecologists then helped the forest recover by planting new trees and flowers, and after a few years the forest became green again as animals and birds returned to start new lives there. The little bear now had its own family and chose a cave for their new home, but would always remember what happened in the forest a few years ago.
