The brown bears at Helsinki's Korkeasaari Zoo received a special treat, thanks to the generosity（慷慨） of a young boy. Twelve year—old Otso Riali donated（gave away） 200 euros to the zoo to give the bears new climbing trees, without which he thought they would be in danger.
Otso, from the small town of Karjalohja west of Helsinki, says he saved up the money by selling 400 bottles of homemade berry（树莓） juice with the help of his grandmother. "It was hard work and my back hurt badly from all the bending in the forest while I was picking berries. " said Otso.
A visit to the bear shelter a few years ago drove Otso to bring some cheer to the animals, which he said didn't seem energetic.
"Otso could have kept all he made by means of selling juice for himself, but he made a decision to give a part of it to help animals. Otso showed an unusual ability to act. He did not stop when he saw what a bad situation the bears were in. Instead, he began to act in a practical way and made it. "
The zoo gladly accepted Otso's donation. However, bear caretaker Tina Koivu mentioned that the bears'foot—dragging（步履蹒跚） at the time of Otso's visit was caused by the summer heat.
It happens that the name Otso is also an old Finnish（芬兰的） word for bear. "I was born to be a bear lover. " said Otso with a smile.
