A: Hey, John! Have you heard any news lately?
B: Not much, what's up?

A: So, there are these two bears hanging out in a persimmon tree in Iwate Prefecture!
B: Wow, really? That's wild! Whereabouts is that?

A: It's in this town called Iwaizumi. Cops got a call about it on Monday morning. As of now, they're still up there. No one got hurt, thankfully.
B: Persimmon tree, huh? Must be quite a sight!

A: Yeah, an NHK camera crew captured them chilling in the branches! But here's the thing, they can't shoot 'em because it might mess up houses.
B: So what are they doing about it then?

A: Cops are on the scene managing traffic and stuff. If they use firecrackers to scare them away, they might run into the downtown area instead.
B: That sounds intense! They're near an elementary school too, right?

A: Yeah, it's about a kilometer from the town hall. And get this – last week, they were up there for around three hours! The school asked parents to walk their kids to and from school as a precaution.
