And it bit me!

It was not nearly as bad as that sounds, of course. The fact that this grizzly fit inside a compartment the size of my face had to be kept in mind to get a proper idea of the creature in question. It was only about thirty centimetres long, and from the proper perspective, quite cute.

Trying again, slowly and carefully this time, I reached down for the grizzly. It watched me suspiciously, but I was able to lift it out without provoking it to hostility. I held the little bear cupped in my hands, and we stared at each other inquisitively.

"Wait, I get it! You're my animal spirit guide, aren't you? You're here to help me figure out what this drawing means!"

I gently placed the little bear on my shoulder where it dug its claws into my coat to secure its grip. "I think I'll call you Ted," I told it as I opened the drawing again. "So what do you think this means, Ted?"

It's a map of the Imagination!
It's a backup of my Identity!
It's a speed course to become a neurosurgeon!
It's a riddle with no answers left by the prankster to confuse me!
Something else!
