FIRE

What is the bear doing? What is he holding? Why is he wearing a hat?
What caused the fire? When did it start?
Why is the bear in the city while it’s burning?
Why is the bear so big?
How is the bear feeling? How do you know? Why might this be?
What do you think will happen to the city? Will anything, or anyone, survive the fire?
