Mr Bean is using a match to light the fire and the children are rubbing the sticks to make a fire. Mr Bean is selfish because he doesn’t care about anyone else but himself. He should share the soup with the scouts and teach the scouts it’s easier to use the match to light the fire than rubbing the sticks together. He went to sleep and the children thought up a prank to scare him. They get the bear sign from the camping ground and use some sticks to tie them into a shape of a bear’s paw and stamped some bear pawprints on the ground near MB’s tent. Then uses the megaphone to make like a roaring sound, so MB will be woken up and will be scared. MB woke up and don’t know what had happened. Then he grabs teddy and waves him out of the tent to see what’s going on. And then MB saw the bear paw print that was stamped by the children and got scared. Then he saw a bear and he thought it was a real bear but it’s only the sign. Then he called his friend and they saw the bear, so MB’s friend turns on a flashlight and shine it at the sign. Then laughed. Then the children got out from behind the bear and laughed at MB who was being scared.
