The Kelly family had a relaxing Sunday morning breakfast, but apparently they didn’t clean up as well as they initially thought. According to NBC-2, a bit of bacon grease was still on the campground grill, and that was enough to draw the attention of a bear.

凱利一家人已吃過優閒的週日早餐，但顯然清理得不如自以為的乾淨。據NBC-2報導，一小塊培根油脂還停留在營地烤肉架上，已足以吸引一頭熊的注意。

Two staff members of the camp came to warn the Kelly family that a bear was close by, and that’s when 11-year-old Baden Kelly sprung into action.

兩名營地工作人員過來警告凱利一家人附近有熊，就在此時，11歲的貝登˙凱利已採取行動。

Baden began screaming in order to get the bear’s attention. He was able to distract the bear long enough for most of his family to run into a nearby cabin.

貝登開始尖叫，以便吸引熊的注意。他讓熊轉移注意力的時間，長到足以讓大部分家人跑向附近一棟小木屋。

However, his little sister Moriah, perhaps due to the shock of the situation, didn’t run.

然而，也許是被這情況嚇到了，他的小妹妹茉莉亞沒有跑。

"I said, ’Run, Moriah,’ and she didn’t run, so I got to her and I started running with her, and that’s when the bear started running after us," Baden said. "By the time it got to about 10 feet behind us, my brother [Logan] came running really fast out of his cabin and shouted very loudly."

「我說，『跑啊，茉莉亞』，可是她沒跑，所以我過去跟她一起跑，就在這時那熊開始追我們，」貝登說。「等牠跑到我們後面約10呎時，我弟（羅根）飛快地從小木屋跑出來，然後叫得很大聲。」

Baden told Fox13Now.com that he "was scared because of Moriah and she’s just little, she wouldn’t have been able to fight for herself. So I had to make a choice and do that."

貝登告訴Fox13Now.com，他「很害怕，因為茉莉亞，而且她還小，無法為自己奮戰。所以我決定要那樣做。」
