Unit 6 Cougar In The Country
The McAlister family lives in a small house in a valley on the west coast of Canada. There were few neighbors near their house. They had lots of land that lead out to the mountains.
The McAlister’s had several encounters with raccoons, squirrels, goats and other mountain animals that would come searching for food. They once had a bear in their back yard looking through the garbage. One summer day, Mrs. McAlister was at home with the two children. Mr. McAlister was at work.
The two children were playing in the backyard. As Mrs. McAlister was finishing up, she heard her oldest daughter scream. She looked up and saw a cougar perched on the fence ready to pounce on the youngest child. Mrs. McAlister ran outside to save her children. At first, she screamed and waved at the giant cat trying to scare it. But the cat hissed at the woman and came closer.
Then Mrs. McAlister grabbed a shovel in the yard and swung it at the cougar. Finally, the cougar ran off and Mrs. McAlister held her children and was thankful they were safe.
