I'm not quite sure what you're expecting.  There is nothing in any of the
cases that will exit the loop.  The loop is infinite.  I assume (with no
evidence) that the "dead" function calls sys.exit, which kills the program.
In that case, this makes a little bit of sense.  The first time you type
"taunt bear", bear_moved is set True and the loop runs again.  If you type
"taunt bear" a second time, then the bear is pissed off and you call
dead().
