Bear seeks beer, then keeps his cool in grocery

A 125 pound black bear walked into a Marketplace Foods in Hayward, Wis. It headed straight for the liquor section and stayed there for about an hour before Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources came to the scene. They were able to tranquilize the bear and get it out of the store. No alcohol was consumed by the bear.

That is really interesting! I have to agree your headline was what caught my attention right away. That's kind of scary though too! Was anyone hurt?

So the bear went into a story full of food and other goodies and went and sat in the liquor section? Weird. Good summery though

This made me laugh. It was a good article to pick, not an everyday kind of thing!

This summary covered a novel topic. It attracted quite a few students as well. I think it's another good example of how much readers appreciate humor in stories because so many news stories are sad & tragic.

Great headline. It got me interested in your summary. I may have seen security camera tapes on the news.

It would have been much funnier if the bear would have consumed some alcohol. Then we would have an alcoholic bear on our hands! However, it is still funny that the bear sat in the alcohol section... Weird!
