As a class, finish a story about a polar bear. Contribute as much as you can/want.

Once upon a time, there lived a polar bear. He had white fur and a small gray sign on his left side.He measured almost 6 feet and 2 meters. Our young bear was different of those living around. He could spend hours walking and as if looking for something special. One day, in the morning, he woke up and saw that he was all grey. He thought it was dirt but after having washed himself, he was the same. First, his friends were refusing him seeing that he is different from them but later on, discovering that there is nothing different in his attitude, they became friends again. The grey polar bear became the leader of the all polar bear groups and thus, no one understood how the change of the color happened, when and why and, thus, continued living happily as before.

Time passed and our bear remained grey. One day when he was walking a little far from his home, he met another big grey polar bear, even bigger then himself. He was very surprised, as he thought that he was the only grey polar bear in the world. The old grey bear told him his story, how he was white when he was young, and how his friends left him when he became grey. He thought that he would never understand why his fur color had changed, but one day an old sea lion told him, that once there were grey polar bears, who were white first, and then, with their age, they became grey. The young bear was surprised because he wasn't old, and the old bear said that there were special bears, who were smarter and more unique than the others and they became grey before they were old. Our young bear was happy, because he learned that he was really special. He offered the old bear to go and live with him and his friends. The old bear was grateful, because he had lived so many years alone, that he really needed someone by his side.

The bears went together and from that time,they lived happy as before.
