A Short Frickin Awesome Narrative in Three Different Ways

There was a boy in the woods. The boy had just come of age to venture out on his own and turn a new leaf for himself. As a sign of his maturity, the village required the coat of a bear. With only a hunting knife and a bow and arrow, the boy wanders in to the black forest. The boy is able to kill a deer to hang for the bear to retrieve. The next day, as the boy is hiding high above, a bear approaches the fresh exposed meat and devours it. The boy strikes without hesitance. The boy follows through with every motion. A girl nearby is skipping through the village. She looks out ahead and sees a man coming towards her. He walks directly to the main post of the village as everyone comes out. The man is wearing the rigged fur of a bear and declares his manhood. The village cheers with joy.

I was in the woods. I had just turned 18 and I have to look for a new life to call my own. To prove my maturity, my village has required me to find the cloak of a bear to return to the village as a sign of my manhood. With only my knife and bow at my disposal, I begin my hunt in to the forbidden forest. First I was able to kill a deer to use as bait for the bear. I hid myself high up in the trees and wait patiently. The next day I see a bear approach my bait. As soon as he finishes his meal I make my planned attack. I strike without fear. I strike without hesitance. The village is waiting for me. I walk towards the center of the village. With stern eyes, the my fellow villagers stare at the grueling beast that lays on my back. The great bear that declares the sacred bond. The bear that releases my inner man.
