Write a story in 150 words?

“There, it’s finished,” whispered Bear, reaching up to take Baby Bear. Antelope handed the baby to him and he placed him gently onto the makeshift raft. Her teary eyes were tortured as Bear pushed the frail raft out into the strong river current.
“He will live to avenge us.” Bear watched the tears flow from Antelope’s eyes. “Eagle will make him strong and brave.”
