About the THEME and the title. It's not an easy one and I think it can have different opinions so it would be nice for us to discuss this one. To me, personally, I think the meaning behind the title is much more deeper than just a "children song title". The song contains lyrics saying that all the bear saw was the other side of the mountain. Sometimes we think we have to get to the other side because there are better things waiting for us, but the other side is just a mirage. Like it happened with Grant. He had plenty of opportunities to make it up to Fiona for the things he's done, and yet when he got the last chance, he decided to commit infidelity once again. So the bear saw the other side of the mountain, and there was nothing new; no process, nothing, just a mirage of its own mountain.

"the wind was actually warm" another example of the setting of the story. The climate in Iceland is cold and windy most of the time. This setting actually helps with the background of the story.

Here's another example of how the author describes the woman. She compares her with Fiona and says she's the opposite of what she looks like.
