MONARCH : THE BIG BEAR OF TALLAC

One day a native American boy named Ran meets two little bears at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, and names the brother bear ‘Jackie’ and the sister bear ‘Gill.’ As Ran plays with the two bears, they become good friends. Their happiness, however, doesn’t last for long. Ran’s father accidentally shoots the two little bears’ mother to death. Feeling sorry for them, Ran decides to take Jackie and Gill back home to live with him.
