"Bear story" is an English equivalent of the French phrase "histoire d'ours."

Specifically, the feminine noun "histoire" means "history, story." The preposition "d"* means "of, from." The masculine noun "ours" means "bear."

The pronunciation is "ee-stwahr doorss."

The preposition actually is "de." But the vowel "e" drops before a noun that begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of that drop is indicated by an apostrophe immediately after the remaining letter "d" and immediately before the succeeding noun.
