One day I was taking a nap and Gustav woke me up:

`Ted look, I have a surfboard!`

`What is that for?`

`I can ride the ocean waves on top of it.`

`Aren`t you afraid of drowning?`

`No, I have seen people doing this!`

`But you`re a bear, not a person...`

`A bear can surf even better. Do you want to try too?`

`No, I`d rather fly over the waves. I will watch you from the sky.`

Once on the beach Gustav started exercising.

`First I will warm up and then I`ll surf like a champion!`

`I hope the surfboard doesn`t break under your weight Gustav... `

`No, it`s a strong board. I`ll tie this leash to my paw so I won`t loose it.`

Soon Gustav was riding the waves.

`Look, I can surf like a champion!`

But a wave came behind Gustav and threw him off the surfboard.

Another wave came and Gustav landed right on the back of a big shark.

The shark, who had never seen a bear before, was scared and called his friends:

`Help, a furry lobster caught me!`

Two more sharks appeared. Then a giant wave came and all of them went under the water, bear and sharks.

I cried:

`Hold on Gustav, I`m coming to the rescue!`

I flew over, got hold of Gustav and pulled him back to the sand.

Gustav was dizzy from being under water. I had to carry him home, stretched on the surfboard.

It took several days for Gustav to recover. He hasn`t surfed again yet.

But he likes to say:

`I`m a little bear but I can ride big ocean waves and even big sharks.`
