Boy from the 1800s

there was a boy from the 1800s, his name was Henry.  he loved frogs and he liked to keep them as pets and he loves to swim a lot and he liked to bug his older sisters with frogs.  one day he went coon hunting, by himself.  He saw a squirrel, and then he saw a bear attacking the squirrel. He was trying to shoot the bear but it kept on moving.  He ran off to tell his mom and dad about it and they were shocked.  Then they wanted to see the bear.  Henry took them to show them where the bear had been.  They saw a cave, went in it, and they saw the bear.  Henry's dad shot the bear and it died.  They had ridden in their wagon to the cave and they took the bear in the wagon back to their house.  They cut the bear up, so they could have meat to eat.  The rest of the family were shocked, and wanted to know who had shot the bear.  The dad said that he had shot the bear.  The skin from the bear was big enough to make Henry a coat.
