The Bear Hunt
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”First, 3 locations are designated as dens where the bear has its lairs. Then, one of the largest and strongest scouts is chosen to be the bear, and a small balloon made of thin rubber, tissue paper, or an inflated and sealed cushion from a shop paper bag is attached to its back. The remaining scouts (1—3 patrols), armed with clubs made of twisted or tied handkerchiefs or twisted straw, attempt to strike and burst the balloon on the bear’s back whenever the bear carelessly leaves its den. The bear has a similar club and strikes the hunters on their hats.
Anyone struck on the hat by a club is considered dead and leaves the game. The bear cannot be killed (i.e., struck on the hat with a club) until the balloon (or paper bag) has been hit.
Thus, the bear constantly tries to face the hunters rather than turning its back to them.
