Beware of Bears

We had a few visiting 3yo's and one of them came in, quite excited. 'There is a bear in the car! There is a bear in the car! He jumped in the car!'

 

'Hmmmm, I see.'
3yo 'He jumped in the car and then he died!'

 

Now I am trying to figure out whether having a dead bear in the car is better or worse than having an alive bear in there.
