Sinka was just an ordinary bear, that did ordinary things that bears generally do. She slept most of the winter and came out during the spring...ate her berries, caught some fish...and then went back to sleep again after summer. It was a simple, quiet, enjoyable existence...until she made the mistake of saving one of the tiny hairless things from drowning in one of her fish streams. Then next thing she knew...they were building a statue and singing songs about her. It's also how she learned that no good deed goes unpunished. She'd know better next time.
