-
- HOW MOTHER BEAR SAVED HER BABY
-
-
-One time Little Bear came near being carried away to town. It was when
-he was a weenty baby, before he was big enough to have a porridge bowl
-of his own, or a tiny chair, or a wee bed upstairs. It happened this
-way:
-
-When middle-sized Mother Bear came down one morning to get breakfast,
-she carried Baby Bear in her arms and put him in his wooden cradle with
-the rockers. He was wide awake, but while he lay there watching the fire
-in the big fireplace and listening to the teakettle singing and the
-porridge bubbling, he fell asleep again.
-
-Quietly Mother Bear filled the big, big porridge bowl and the
-middle-sized porridge bowl. Then she motioned for Father Bear to sit at
-the table.
-
-"Isn't the porridge too hot?" whispered Father Bear, in a big, gruff
-whisper.
-
-Middle-sized Mother Bear tasted the porridge and it burned her mouth.
-"Yes, it is too hot," she agreed.
-
-"I will go for a walk in the forest while the porridge cools," said
-Father Bear as he reached for his big hat and tiptoed softly to the
-door.
-
-A few moments later Mother Bear stepped out to get a basin of rain water
-for Sonny Bear's bath. Sonny Bear was sound asleep, but Mother Bear
-carefully closed the door behind her when she left the little house.
-
-One moment later, a man, carrying a gun, saw the house in the forest,
-and, wondering who might live there, walked up the path and knocked at
-the door. He had been walking since daylight and was tired and hungry.
-
-Straightway Mr. Man lifted the latch, went in, and walked over to the
-cradle. Instead of a little pink and white baby in the cradle, there lay
-a baby bear, sound asleep. Mr. Man smiled and stooped over to take
-Little Bear in his arms.
-
-"I'll carry you home to my children for a pet," said Mr. Man.
-
-At that moment middle-sized Mother Bear opened the door. Oh, but she was
-frightened when she saw a man with a gun in his hand leaning over her
-baby's cradle! She feared he would run away with the baby and shoot
-whoever tried to stop him. Middle-sized Mother Bear tried to think what
-to do and in a second she remembered that sometimes men are afraid of
-fire. Running to the fireplace she seized a blazing log and darted at
-Mr. Man. One end of the log was not on fire, so Mother Bear didn't get
-burned.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-But that man! When he saw Mother Bear coming toward him with a blazing
-log, he jumped for the door and was gone before she had time to think
-twice! And he was never again seen near the Three Bears' home!
-
-Little Bear loves to hear about that man to this day.
-
-
-
-
- GRANDFATHER GRIZZLY
-
-
-Little Bear's parents had never told him about his Grandfather Grizzly,
-but Auntie Cinnamon's twins told Little Bear that Grandfather Grizzly
-talked like this: "Gr-gr-gr-ger-ger-row-rowl!"—only they made it sound
-like the north wind in November.
-
-Little Bear shivered with fear. That pleased the twins so much they told
-one story after another, just to see Little Bear look frightened. But
-the joke was on them, because, while they were trying to scare Little
-Bear, they had frightened themselves so badly they jumped every time the
-friendly owl spoke in the forest.
-
-Of course Little Bear straightway asked Father Bear many questions about
-Grandfather Grizzly and his folks. At last he said, "If I ever meet a
-grizzly, up I go, up I go, to the top of the highest tree!"
-
-"No, indeed! You shall not be a coward!" answered Father Bear. "If ever
-you see a grizzly coming, even Grandfather Grizzly himself, you walk on
-and meet him."
-
-"Meet him!" echoed Little Bear, in faint tones.
-
-"Yes, Son Bear, you meet him. Meet him face to face, and say, 'Good
-morning, sir.'"
-
-[Illustration:
-
- "_I'm of the old, old family of the Three Bears_"
-]
-
-After that Little Bear did not feel so happy in the big woods. He feared
-he might see a grizzly coming, and be obliged to meet him and say, "Good
-morning, sir!"
-
-One day soon afterward, Little Bear fell asleep on a shelf of rock; he
-was comfortable in the warm sunshine. When he awoke he saw below him a
-huge bear patiently trying to take a bunch of burrs from the back of his
-neck. The burrs were sticking tight in his fur.
-
-Little Bear might easily have slipped off the back of the rock and run
-softly away; instead, he offered to help the stranger get the burrs out
-of his coat.
-
-Straightway the big bear turned a troubled face upward. "Then do so," he
-growled. "Jump down on my back, and use your sharp claws, young cub, and
-be quick about it." His tones were rough, but Little Bear did not blame
-the old fellow for that.
-
-When the burrs were out, Little Bear jumped to the ground.
-
-"I thank you, sir," said the stranger, rising and shaking his huge body.
-"What's your name?"
-
-"Little Bear. I'm of the old, old family of the Three Bears, if you
-please," was the prompt and fearless answer.
-
-"I am pleased to have met you," said the big bear, scratching his ear
-with his hind paw. "Tell your father and mother old Grandfather Grizzly
-says you are a brave young cub. If I can ever be of use to your family,
-I shall be glad. Good day, sir!" And off he went through the woods,
-"slipslop, slipslop," on his huge flat feet.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-Little Bear ran home as fast as he could.
-
-"What did I tell you?" inquired Father Bear, when he had heard Little
-Bear's story.
-
-"I'll never be afraid of the grizzlies again," answered Little Bear,
-gayly hopping about.
-
-But Auntie Cinnamon's twins still tremble at the thought of meeting
-Grandfather Grizzly.
-
-
-
-
- BABY BEAR'S PARTY
-
-
-Baby Bear loved the birds, so Mother Bear was not much surprised when
-Baby Bear dropped his wee porridge spoon at the breakfast table, and
-said in a shrill voice:
-
-"Let's invite all the birds to a party!"
-
-"We will give the party to-morrow," said Mother Bear. "But what shall we
-offer the birds to eat?"
-
-"Blackberries and honey," replied Father Bear.
-
-"Once I saw a robin eat a wiggly worm," said Baby Bear.
-
-"I'll tell you what we'd better do, Father Bear," said Mother Bear. "You
-take a walk around the edge of the woods and find out what the birds
-like best to eat."
-
-Father Bear set out gayly enough, but he came back looking sad and
-discouraged.
-
-"We can't have the party!" he said. "I have been asking questions, and
-what do you suppose I have learned? The robins eat worms, and they eat
-so many that we couldn't dig enough to satisfy one robin!"
-
-"Then suppose we give a little party, and invite only catbirds," said
-Mother Bear.
-
-"Catbirds!" exclaimed Father Bear, in a big, gruff voice. "Catbirds eat
-grasshoppers—thirty at a time! You can't buy jumping grasshoppers by the
-quart."
-
-[Illustration:
-
- _Baby Bear saw hundreds of birds in the garden, searching for bugs_
-]
-
-"How about the kingbirds?" questioned Mother Bear.
-
-"Kingbirds must have gadflies," grumbled Father Bear, "gadflies by the
-peck!"
-
-"How about the swallows?" asked Mother Bear, who saw Baby Bear winking
-hard to keep back the tears.
-
-"Swallows must have flies!" roared Father Bear, for he was all out of
-patience. "And spotted squash beetles! I'd look well stooping over in
-our garden five or six hours trying to catch squash beetles for
-company!"
-
-"We might ask chickadees," ventured Mother Bear. She saw two big tears
-rolling down Baby Bear's cheeks, so she mentioned chickadees. "They like
-crumbs."
-
-"One chickadee," said Father Bear, in gentler tones, "would much prefer
-five thousand five hundred and fifty cankerworm eggs in a day. We can't
-invite chickadees!"
-
-"Cedar birds?" murmured Mother Bear.
-
-"Cedar birds dine on caterpillars. We could fill the washtubs, I
-suppose, and pass them round!
-
-"Blackbirds spend half their lives chasing insects and eating weed
-seeds. The phœbe bird works for the farmers. She eats weevils that spoil
-wheat and peas and beans. The wood pewees eat flies. Woodpeckers and
-meadow larks, hawks, and all owls have strange appetites!"
-
-[Illustration]
-
-Baby Bear covered his face, and wailed.
-
-This would be a sad story if it ended here, but it does not.
-
-The birds loved Baby Bear, and when they found out why he cried so loud,
-they came in flocks to comfort him.
-
-After that, when Baby Bear awoke, he always saw hundreds of birds in the
-garden, searching for bugs, worms, and grasshoppers.
-
-And that is the reason why the Three Bears have such a wonderful garden.
-
-
-
-
- WHEN MOTHER BEAR MADE PICKLES
-
-
-One year the Three Bears decided to make pickles. They didn't like
-pickles themselves, but whenever Goldilocks and her family had picnics
-in the forest they brought pickles.
-
-"We'd better make pickles this year," said the Middle-sized Bear, "so if
-Goldilocks should come to see Sonny Bear we could offer her something
-she likes, to eat with her porridge."
-
-Next day Big Bear took a huge basket and went for wild cucumbers. When
-he brought them home Middle-sized Bear, with Baby Bear's help, began
-making pickles. They washed the cucumbers in the big dishpan. Then
-Middle-sized Bear gave Sonny Bear a big spoon and a bag of coarse salt.
-
-"Put the salt on the pickles," said Mother Bear.
-
-For a few minutes Baby Bear did as he was told, and shoveled salt on the
-pickles. He was having a good time playing with the salt, when suddenly
-Baby Bear thought the salt looked so much like sugar that maybe it was
-sugar. By and by Baby Bear was so sure the salt was sugar that he opened
-his mouth wide and put in a big spoonful. Then how he roared and cried!
-
-[Illustration:
-
- _Baby Bear was having a good time playing with the salt_
-]
-
-Father Bear came running in, and Mother Bear scooped salt out of Baby
-Bear's big mouth until she wondered how one spoon could have held so
-much. When she couldn't see any more salt, she washed Baby Bear's mouth
-with cold water from the spring.
-
-After awhile Mother Bear put a large box of mustard on the kitchen
-table, and left it there while she went into the pantry to read a recipe
-for making mustard pickles.
-
-Baby Bear wondered what was in that yellow box. Then he climbed in the
-middle-sized Mother Bear's middle-sized chair and reached for it. He
-worked and worked and worked until finally off came the cover of the
-box, and the mustard flew into Baby Bear's eyes. That mustard was so
-strong and hot it burned like fire!
-
-Father Bear came running and Mother Bear came running! The mustard got
-in their eyes, too, and soon the Three Bears were dancing up and down on
-the kitchen floor, crying out, "Mustard! Mustard! Mustard!"
-
-Then Father Bear had an accident. He knocked the pickles off the broad
-window sill into the sand.
-
-"Never mind," said Mother Bear, as she carried Baby Bear to the door for
-fresh air; "the pickles wouldn't have been good anyway, for the book
-I've been reading says pickles must be made of garden cucumbers!"
-
-[Illustration]
-
-It was a long time before wee Baby Bear stopped crying. Perhaps he might
-have cried until bedtime if a bumblebee hadn't brought him a bit of
-honey.
-
-After that the Three Bears went to walk.
-
-"Anyway," said the Middle-sized Bear, as she tied Baby Bear's bonnet
-strings, "anyway, there isn't anything so good as porridge! If
-Goldilocks can't eat porridge, if she ever comes visiting Baby Bear, she
-will have to go hungry! We shall certainly never make any more pickles!"
-
-And they never did.
-
-
-
-
- LITTLE BEAR AND BOB WHITE'S CHILDREN
-
-
-One lovely spring morning Father Deer knocked at the door of the Three
-Bears' home in the forest.
-
-"Come in, Friend Deer, come in!" was Father Bear's welcome as he opened
-wide the door. "Come in and have a bowl of porridge!"
-
-"No, I thank you," answered Father Deer, "I am on my way to the wheat
-field for breakfast. Where is Sonny? Oh, there he is, behind his mother!
-Little Bear, I came to ask you to go for a walk with me, if your father
-and mother are willing. I should like to take you to see Bob White's
-children."
-
-"Oh, may I go, may I go?" asked Little Bear in a shrill, happy voice.
-
-"To be sure, to be sure!" answered Father Bear.
-
-"But don't wander far from Friend Deer," warned his mother as she kissed
-Little Bear good-by.
-
-Straight to the edge of the forest bounded Father Deer, with Little Bear
-close at his heels. When the two were near the wheat field they heard a
-brown bird singing in sweet tones, "Bob White! Bob White!"
-
-[Illustration:
-
- _Little Bear didn't go too near for fear of scaring the babies_
-]
-
-"He is a fine fellow, that quail who calls himself Bob White," said
-Father Deer. It was the first time he had spoken. Plump Little Bear was
-nearly out of breath trying to keep pace with Mr. Deer of the long legs,
-so he was glad to stop for a short talk.
-
-"That gentle bird works for the farmer all the year," Father Deer
-continued, as he stood beside Little Bear, looking through the bushes
-back of the stone wall surrounding the wheat field. "During the summer
-he works twelve hours a day destroying all kinds of bugs and worms. He
-eats hundreds of garden bugs at a time, Little Bear!"
-
-"I suppose he has to eat enough to last while he sleeps all winter,"
-suggested Little Bear, looking wise.
-
-"Quail do not sleep all winter, and neither do our folks!" corrected
-Father Deer. "During the delightful winters when you bears are all
-tucked away in bed, sleeping as if you never intend to wake up, Bob
-White dines on weed seeds. He has been known to eat five thousand weed
-seeds at one meal!"
-
-Soon Father Deer led Little Bear to Bob White's home, and introduced him
-to the family—Bob White, Mrs. Bob White, and their eighteen children.
-Their nest was on the ground in the fence corner. Little Bear didn't go
-too near for fear of scaring the babies, who, with their beady black
-eyes, looked like balls of down.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-While Father Deer nibbled the new wheat, Little Bear stayed near the
-nest where he could see the Bob White children eat their breakfast.
-
-"What would you do if a man should come out here and carry off your
-babies?" asked Little Bear, who longed to take one of the babies in his
-own big paw and give it a weenty squeeze.
-
-"Come, children," said Mrs. Bob White, "let us show Little Bear what
-would happen if a man should try to carry you off. Come on, we will play
-hide and seek with him."
-
-Mrs. Bob White knew that Little Bear wouldn't take one of her children
-in his big paw and give it a weenty squeeze. "Come, children, run and
-hide. When you find one of my children, Little Bear, you say 'I spy!'
-Ready, children! One, two, three, hide!"
-
-In a twinkling there was not a baby quail in sight. They scattered so
-quickly the minute their mother said "Hide!" that Little Bear was
-astonished. He searched and searched through the grass, but not a baby
-quail could he find. Then he noticed that Mrs. Bob White seemed to have
-broken her wing.
-
-"How did it happen, Mrs. Bob White! Oh, how did it happen!" exclaimed
-Little Bear in distress, as he ran after her.
-
-Immediately Mrs. Bob White straightened her wings and laughed. "Come,
-children," she called, and up rose eighteen baby quail from the grass
-where they had been playing hide-and-seek in plain sight.
-
-"But didn't you get hurt?" inquired Little Bear.
-
-"Not a bit of it!" replied Mrs. Bob White. "That is a trick of ours to
-give the babies a chance to hide. If a man should come out here to get
-my babies he would follow me just as you did, because he would believe,
-as you did, that I had broken my wing."
-
-[Illustration]
-
-"Do the children always mind when you say 'Hide'?" inquired Little Bear.
-
-"Always," replied Mrs. Bob White.
-
- * * * * *
-
-At home Little Bear had a wonderful story to tell of children who always
-obeyed their mother. No wonder Mother Bear was glad she let Little Bear
-go for a walk. He was a more obedient Little Bear ever after.

-
- MAPLE SUGAR FOR LITTLE BEAR
-
-
-Goldilocks liked maple sugar. One springtime she asked her father and
-her mother so many questions about how maple sugar is made, that Father
-Goldilocks finally said. "Let us take a vacation. Let us pack up and go
-to the sugar bush."
-
-"What's a sugar bush?" asked Goldilocks.
-
-"A sugar bush," explained Father Goldilocks, "isn't a sugar bush. We say
-sugar bush when we mean a forest of maple trees. The sap of sugar maples
-is sweet, and—"
-
-"What is sap?" interrupted Goldilocks.
-
-"The sap of a tree," replied Father Goldilocks, "is its juice. The tree
-sends its roots deep into the ground after water to make its leaves
-grow. After the cold winter is over and the frost is out of the ground,
-the roots work hard pumping water up into the tree to help it quickly
-put on a new dress of fluttering green leaves. Sugar maples tell their
-roots to bring sugar out of the earth; they wish their sap sweetened."
-
-"But how do we get maple sugar?" persisted Goldilocks.
-
-"We tap the sugar-maple trees," began Father Goldilocks.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-"What is tap?" inquired Goldilocks.
-
-"To tap a tree," her father went on, "is to make a little hole in the
-trunk. Out of that the sap will drip. Sugar makers drive sticks in these
-holes in the trees, and hang buckets on them. The buckets are soon
-filled with sap. The sap is then boiled until all the water is gone and
-only sugar is left. That's how we get maple sugar."
-
-The very next day Goldilocks and her father and her mother drove to the
-forest and cleaned up a deserted little cabin where Father Goldilocks
-had made maple sugar when Goldilocks was a baby. Such a merry time they
-had, getting the little cabin ready to live in!
-
-Late that afternoon the three took a long walk in the woods. Father
-Goldilocks carried a big, big bucket. Mother Goldilocks carried a
-middle-sized bucket, and the wee, wee Goldilocks carried a wee, wee
-bucket.
-
-At last they reached a beautiful, sunbright clearing where stood three
-maple trees in a row: a big maple tree, a middle-sized maple tree, and a
-little maple tree.
-
-"Oh, let us tap these trees and hang our buckets here!" begged
-Goldilocks.
-
-She didn't know that that sunbright clearing was Little Bear's
-playground; neither did Mother Goldilocks know it, nor Father
-Goldilocks.
-
-"This is a long way from our camp," objected Mother Goldilocks.
-
-"But morning walks are lovely," added Goldilocks.
-
-"So they are," agreed Father Goldilocks. "Suppose we tap these trees and
-come after our buckets of sap early in the morning when the birds are
-singing. This once we will make a long journey for the first sap of the
-season. Tomorrow we shall begin tapping the trees in our own camp, and
-soon you shall have maple sugar."
-
-[Illustration:

- _At last they reached a beautiful, sunbright clearing where stood
- three maple trees in a row_
-]
-
-"We shall get up early, early," promised Goldilocks, "and come out here
-before breakfast"; and away she danced, happy as any forest bird.
-
-Goldilocks and her father and her mother did get up early in the
-morning, but the Three Bears rose earlier still and went out to walk.
-They were very hungry, because of their spring appetites. When they
-reached the sunbright clearing and saw three buckets hanging from three
-maple trees, they were surprised and pleased.
-
-"I'm thirsty," said Father Bear. "I shall take a drink of this
-cool-looking water." And he lifted the big, big bucket, that was
-dripping full of maple sap, and took a taste.
-
-"I'm thirsty, too," said Mother Bear, "so I'll take a drink!" She lifted
-the middle-sized bucket, that was dripping full of maple sap, and tasted
-it.
-
-"And I'm thirsty, too," added Little Bear, "so I'll take a drink of
-water!" Then he lifted the wee, wee bucket, dripping full of maple sap,
-and took a sip.
-
-"Mine is sweet!" exclaimed Father Bear.
-
-"Mine is sweet!" added Mother Bear.
-
-"And mine is sweet!" cried Little Bear.
-
-The Three Bears drank every drop of the maple sap, and then went on
-dancing and singing for joy.
-
-And now came Goldilocks and her father and mother.
-
-"Somebody's been drinking my sap!" shouted Father Goldilocks.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-"Somebody's been drinking my sap!" echoed Mother Goldilocks.
-
-"And somebody's been tasting of my sap!" exclaimed Goldilocks, "and he
-has drunk it all up!"
-
-Back to their own camp went the Goldilocks family, and there they lived
-undisturbed all the season and made most delicious maple sugar.
-
-As for Mother Bear and Father Bear, after they learned that maple trees
-have sweet juice they tapped trees and caught more sap, until one happy
-day, soon after, they, too, learned to make maple sugar.
-
-Ever since, Little Bear, as well as Goldilocks, has had maple sugar in
-the springtime. He likes it.
-
-
-
-
- WHEN THE STORM CAME
-
-
-Big Father Bear and middle-sized Mother Bear were often obliged to leave
-Little Bear at home when they went away on business. Early one morning,
-when they were going after honey, they said, "Be a good child, Sonny
-Bear, while we are gone. Don't step outside the front gate or the back
-gate."
-
-Little Bear promised, and all the forenoon he played happily in the
-garden, and sang:
-
- "Ta-de-dum, dum, dum!
- Ta-de-dum, dum, dum!"
-
-as only a happy little bear can sing.
-
-Early in the afternoon Mother Deer passed the house. "Little Bear," she
-called "there is a big storm coming, and your parents are away. Come
-home with me and stay until the storm is over."
-
-"I thank you," answered Little Bear, most politely, "but I promised
-father and mother that I wouldn't go outside the yard."
-
-Soon Father Rabbit came hopping along home.
-
-"Storm coming, Baby Bear," he called. "Come home with me until it is
-over. There is nothing like a warm, dry burrow when there is a storm."
-
-[Illustration:
-
- _A big, wet, shaggy dog tumbled into the room_
-]
-
-But Little Bear would not go. Soon Mrs. Reynard came hastening homeward.
-
-"Come, child, come!" she called to Little Bear. "Come and cuddle up with
-my children until the storm is over." But Baby Bear would not go,
-although the clouds were piling up and up above the forest, and the
-trees were beginning to toss their branches to and fro. One by one the
-squirrels, the butterflies, the birds, and the bees went by. Baby Bear
-felt queer and lonely; but he would not go outside the yard, although
-other neighbors invited him to their homes.
-
-At last pit-pat, pat, pat, patter—patter—patter down came big drops of
-rain. Suddenly two clouds rushed together over the little house in the
-forest, and they roared—crashety—crashety—bang—bang—bang! Little Bear
-knew that the sound was only thunder, and that the blinding flashes that
-soon came thick and fast were nothing but lightning, but he ran into the
-house and shut the door.
-
-Big Bear had often told Little Bear that if ever he felt queer and
-lonely, the thing to do was to whistle. Little Bear felt queer and
-lonely now, so he puckered up his lips and whistled cheerily, although
-the storm made such an uproar that his best whistling sounded weak.
-Weaker still was a little pitiful whine outside the door, but Little
-Bear heard it, ran to the door, and opened it wide. A big, wet, shaggy
-dog tumbled into the room.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-Little Bear was so glad to see the dog that he ran to the cupboard to
-get him some bread. When he came back he thought the poor dog was dead,
-but he came to life instantly, and winked at Little Bear. Then he
-laughed, and rolled over and over on a rug, and dried his wet fur.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-"I believe I'll get him some fruit," Little Bear said to himself, as he
-took a clean dish and went to the cupboard. When he came back the dog
-was sitting in Big Bear's chair, playing Big Bear's flute!
-
-Little Bear ran upstairs to get the dog a coat. When he came back, the
-dog was pretending to ride a goat! Sonny Bear then went to get him some
-shoes, and when he came back that dog was reading the news. Just for
-fun, Little Bear then looked for a key to fit in the lock, and sure
-enough, that dog began to wind the clock!
-
-"Now I know who you are!" declared Little Bear. "You are Mother
-Hubbard's dog!"
-
-And then the dog, because he was so glad that Little Bear knew him at
-last, began to dance a jig, and he did tricks, one after another, that
-kept Little Bear laughing until the storm was over.
-
-Soon came Mother Hubbard, searching for her dog, "Oh, Little Bear," she
-said, "I thank you for being so kind to my dog! He hasn't had a bone for
-so long on account of my cupboard's being bare! He would have perished
-in the storm but for you, and without my dog I couldn't expect to get
-into another Christmas stocking! I wouldn't be worth mentioning if I
-were separated from my dog."
-
-"Bow-wow!" answered the saucy dog. And then he did all his tricks again,
-and made Mother Hubbard, big Father Bear, middle-sized Mother Bear, and
-Little Bear all laugh.
-
-That night Sonny Bear stirred and murmured in his sleep, "I am so glad I
-didn't go! I a-m s-o g-l-a-d!"
-

-
- SONNY BEAR'S ADVENTURE IN
- GOLDILOCK'S CAMP
-
-
-One summer Father Goldilocks and Mother Goldilocks took Little
-Goldilocks and went to the forest to camp out. Their tent was new and
-white, and they found that the forest was a delightful place for a home.
-
-Early every morning Mother Goldilocks rose to get breakfast. One
-morning, when she had blackberries ready in three bowls on the table,
-Father Goldilocks said: "Let us go to the river and catch some fish for
-breakfast."
-
-In a few moments Father Goldilocks, Mother Goldilocks, and Little
-Goldilocks were on their way to the river.
-
-Then along came Little Bear, out for a morning walk. It happened he had
-never seen a tent before.
-
-"It must be somebody's house," said Little Bear, as he knocked loudly on
-the front pole of the tent. Nobody answered his knock, so Little Bear
-opened the flap and walked in.
-
-Near the table were three chairs in a row, a big, big camp chair for
-big, big Father Goldilocks, a middle-sized camp chair for middle-sized
-Mother Goldilocks, and a wee, wee chair for wee, wee Goldilocks.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-After his long walk, Baby Bear was tired; so he sat down to rest in the
-big, big camp chair, but it was too high to be comfortable. He then
-tried the middle-sized camp chair, and that was too low to be
-comfortable. But when Little Bear tried the wee, wee camp chair for the
-wee, wee Goldilocks, it was neither too high nor too low; it was just
-right. So Little Bear sat hard in that wee, wee camp chair until he
-broke the bottom right out.
-
-Then Little Bear decided to try the beds. In the tent were three beds,
-made of hemlock boughs and leaves, covered with blankets; a big, big bed
-for big, big Father Goldilocks, a middle-sized bed for Mother
-Goldilocks, and a wee, wee bed for the wee, wee Goldilocks.
-
-First Little Bear tried the big, big bed, but it was too hard for him.
-Then he tried the middle-sized bed for Mother Goldilocks, and it was too
-soft for him. But when Little Bear cuddled down in the wee, wee bed for
-the wee, wee Goldilocks, it was neither too hard nor too soft; it was
-just right. So he went sound asleep.
-
-Soon Father, Mother, and Little Goldilocks came home. The minute they
-opened the flap of the tent, Father Goldilocks exclaimed in a big, big
-voice: "Somebody has been sitting in my chair!"
-
-"Somebody has been sitting in my chair!" exclaimed middle-sized Mother
-Goldilocks.
-
-"And somebody has been sitting in my chair," added wee, wee Goldilocks,
-beginning to cry, "and he has sat the bottom right out!"
-
-"Somebody has been lying in my bed!" thundered big Father Goldilocks, in
-a big, angry voice.
-
-"Somebody has been lying in my bed!" declared dear, middle-sized Mother
-Goldilocks.
-
-"Somebody has been lying in my bed," exclaimed wee, wee Goldilocks, in a
-shrill, shrill voice, "and there he is!"
-
-[Illustration:
-
- _So Little Bear went sound asleep_
-]
-
-[Illustration]
-
-When the Goldilocks family came home, Little Bear began to dream that a
-thunderstorm was raging in the forest, until wee Goldilocks stood beside
-him, and said in her shrill voice, "There he is!"
-
-Little Bear awoke then, and when he saw good Father Goldilocks, Mother
-Goldilocks, and wee Goldilocks standing beside him, looking so angry, he
-sprang to his feet, and ran out of the tent, nor did he stop running
-until he reached his own home in the deep forest. When the three
-Goldilocks saw Little Bear run out of the tent they began to laugh. But
-Little Bear was so frightened he didn't go near the tent home again that
-summer.
-
-
-
-
- WHAT FATHER BEAR SAID WHEN HE
- WAS TIRED
-
-
-One day the big, big Father Bear said something when he was tired that
-made the middle-sized Mother Bear jump so she dropped a pan of apples
-off her lap, while Baby Bear danced around and laughed and laughed as if
-he never would stop.
-
-It happened this way. These Three Bears who lived in the forest were so
-fond of blackberries they had planted a patch of blackberry bushes in
-their own garden. Father Bear then bought three hoes—a big, big hoe for
-himself; a middle-sized hoe for the middle-sized Mother Bear, and a wee,
-wee hoe for the wee, wee Baby Bear. He also bought three tin pails—a
-big, big tin pail for himself, a middle-sized tin pail for the
-middle-sized Mother Bear, and a wee, wee tin pail for the wee, wee Baby
-Bear.
-
-Every cool June morning the Three Bears used to work in their garden.
-Big Father Bear used to hoe the earth around the roots of the big, big
-blackberry bushes; middle-sized Mother Bear used to hoe the earth around
-the middle-sized blackberry bushes, while wee, wee Baby Bear used to hoe
-the earth wherever he chose.
-
-Every evening, except when it rained, the Three Bears went through the
-garden gate and down the path to the river, where they filled their
-pails with water. The big, big Father Bear carried water to pour around
-the roots of the blackberry bushes in his big, big pail, while the
-middle-sized Mother Bear carried water in her middle-sized pail, and the
-wee, wee Baby Bear carried water in his wee, wee pail.
-
-One morning Mother Bear said it was too warm to work in the garden.
-
-"But I wish to hoe in the garden!" exclaimed big, big Father Bear in his
-big, big voice.
-
-"And I wish to hoe in the garden!" said the wee, wee Baby Bear in a
-shrill little voice.
-
-Mother Bear stopped washing three porridge bowls long enough to say,
-"All right, Father Bear, but Baby Bear must stay in the house and play
-with his blocks until it is cooler out of doors!"
-
-For a few minutes Baby Bear cried hard because he had to stay in the
-house, and then he settled down happily to play with his blocks.
-
-[Illustration:
-
- _Mother Bear jumped so the apples rolled to the floor_
-]
-
-Father Bear immediately put on his wide straw hat and went into the
-garden, where he hoed and hoed and hoed without saying a word. After a
-while Father Bear felt so warm and tired he stopped to rest a few
-minutes. He took off his big, big straw hat. He pulled out his red
-bandana handkerchief and wiped his face. Then he fanned himself with his
-big, wide hat, but he didn't say one word.
-
-Soon Father Bear picked up his hoe again and hoed and hoed. At last,
-when he was too tired to hoe any longer, he left the garden and walked
-into the house.
-
-Mother Bear was sitting in her middle-sized chair with her back to the
-door. She was paring apples to make apple sauce, and didn't see Father
-Bear when he kicked off his big, floppy slippers; but Baby Bear saw him,
-and smiled.
-
-Then something happened! Father Bear, with a wink at Baby Bear, sat down
-in his big, big chair, hard and suddenly—bump! He sat down so hard the
-porridge bowls rattled in the cupboard! Next he put both feet on the
-table, pulled out his red bandana to wipe his face, and burst forth in a
-loud tone—"Oh, hum!"
-
-It was then Mother Bear jumped so the apples rolled to the floor, and
-Baby Bear danced round and round and laughed and laughed as if he never
-would stop dancing and laughing.
-
-"Well, father," said Mother Bear in a half-pleasant, half-cross,
-middle-sized voice, "don't do that again!"
-
-[Illustration]
-
-Baby Bear loved fun, and that may be why he begged, "Oh, do it again!
-Please do it again!"
-
-Father Bear nodded his head at Baby Bear, grinned, and said louder than
-ever, in the biggest, big bear voice, "Oh, hum! Oh, hum! Oh,
-hum-ey—hum—hum!"
-
-Then the Three Bears laughed and laughed until they cried, and Big Bear
-had to pass around his big, red bandana to wipe away their tears! But he
-didn't hoe any more that day, because it certainly was too warm.
-
-
-
-
- HOW LITTLE BEAR WENT TO A PICNIC
-
-
-One time Little Bear went to a picnic to which he was not invited. It
-happened this way. On a lovely summer morning five big girls had a
-picnic, and left their baby brothers and sisters at home. The babies
-didn't cry, because they were all taking naps when the big sisters
-packed their picnic baskets and walked to the forest.
-
-"I almost wish that I had brought my little sister," said one of the
-girls on reaching the woods.
-
-"So do I," said another. "I feel lonesome without my little, laughing
-sister."
-
-"And my baby brother," added another girl. "I thought he would be too
-much bother, but if he were only here, how happy he would be! I am
-lonely, too!"
-
-"If we had brought our little brothers and sisters," said the fourth big
-girl, "we would have our picnic on the edge of the woods, without going
-a step farther!"
-
-"They might have taken naps under the trees after dinner," agreed the
-fifth big sister.
-
-Then, instead of spreading their tablecloth on the green grass on the
-edge of the forest, the five big girls walked on and on until they
-reached a beautiful clearing where sunshine streamed in and drove the
-shadows back among the trees. The girls didn't know that the beautiful
-clearing was Little Bear's favorite playground. They didn't know that a
-vine-covered path led from the clearing straight to the home of the
-Three Bears.
-
-[Illustration:
-
- _Soon came all the Three Bears' wildwood friends_
-]
-
-Quickly the big girls unpacked their picnic baskets. They spread a white
-tablecloth on the pine needles. One girl ran to the brook and filled a
-pail with clear, cold water. The others filled a wooden plate with
-sandwiches, and placed it on the table—ham sandwiches, jelly sandwiches,
-and peanut-butter sandwiches. On other wooden plates were cookies,
-doughnuts, chocolate cake, cream cake, and maple-sugar cake. One girl
-had brought a dish of honey, another a can of jelly, while the biggest
-girl untied a box of chocolates and put it on the table beside a saucer
-of fudge.
-
-Then the girls gathered bunches of fringed gentians to decorate the
-white cloth. Birds were singing and butterflies were flitting about when
-the five big girls sat in a circle around their picnic dinner.
-
-But before a girl had taken a bite of anything, somebody came to the
-picnic who hadn't been invited! That somebody was Little Bear. He walked
-across the clearing slowly and politely. Little Bear wasn't a bit afraid
-of five pretty girls sitting in a circle on his playground; he knew they
-wouldn't do _him_ any harm!
-
-[Illustration]
-
-But when the girls saw Little Bear they jumped up and ran away,
-screaming, "A bear! A bear! A bear!"
-
-Little Bear was so surprised he stood still and watched the five girls
-until the last pink ribbon and blue ribbon had disappeared. Then he
-doubled up, and laughed, and laughed, until Father Bear and Mother Bear
-came. They laughed, too, when Baby Bear explained the fun.
-
-"Did they think I would eat them up?" asked Little Bear, in a shrill
-voice; and then he laughed again!
-
-"Too bad you scared the girls away from their dinner," said Father Bear,
-in his big, gruff voice; "but come to the picnic, Sonny, come to the
-picnic!"
-
-[Illustration]
-
-"Yes, come to the picnic," added Mother Bear, helping herself to a
-creamy chocolate.
-
-"Come to the picnic!" called Baby Bear, after he had tasted everything
-on the table. "Come, squirrels, come, birds, come, butterflies, and
-share our picnic!"
-
-Soon came troops of squirrels and rabbits and all the Three Bears'
-wildwood friends, and to this day there is gleeful talk in the forest of
-Little Bear's picnic.
-
-As for those five girls, the next time they planned a picnic they took
-their baby brothers and sisters, and had a jolly time under the trees
-near the edge of the forest, and Baby Bear never heard a word about it.
-
-
-
-
- THREE BEARS IN THE ENCHANTED LAND
-
-
-One time Father Bear and Mother Bear went on a long journey, and took
-Little Bear with them. After the Three Bears had traveled many days
-through the big forest, they reached the Enchanted Land. There were no
-fairies or witches or gnomes or brownies in this land; but there were
-springs of hot water and springs of cold water; there were straight,
-tall trees and bright flowers; there were rocks of many colors, and
-rugged mountains. Best of all, no hunters were allowed to harm the folks
-who lived in the Enchanted Land, or who, like the Three Bears, came
-there to enjoy their holidays.
-
-When Father Bear and Mother Bear learned they were safe from guns, no
-matter what they did, they began to have a jolly time. They poked their
-noses into men's pockets; they peeped into tents; they grew more
-fearless every day. At last, one day, Father Bear and Mother Bear
-decided to walk into one of the big hotels in the Enchanted Land and see
-what it was like inside.
-
-Little Bear was taking a nap in the sunshine when Father Bear and Mother
-Bear stepped into their hotel. No one was in sight. Father Bear and
-Mother Bear followed their noses until they reached a big dining room.
-On the table were bowls of sugar. Mother Bear and Father Bear helped
-themselves. At first they walked softly about, but soon they began
-stepping heavily and rattling dishes. Then came men—waiters. Now Father
-Bear was a big, big bear, and Mother Bear was a middle-sized bear, and
-the men were frightened.
-
-"Come, come!" one of the men cried, waving a towel, "you get right out
-of this!"
-
-Father Bear replied in a big, gruff voice. The men didn't understand
-what Father Bear said, but they didn't like his tone.
-
-When it became known that two huge bears were helping themselves to
-sugar in the dining room, there was great excitement in the hotel.
-Perhaps if the head waiter had politely requested them to leave, they
-would have done so immediately; but when the pompous fellow began
-shouting and throwing things at them, Father Bear refused to budge, and
-Mother Bear stood firm.
-
-Then two men, each dragging a hose, entered the dining room from the
-back and turned streams of water on Father Bear and Mother Bear. The
-water, cold, steady, and blinding, shot full in their faces—swish-bang?
-Then the bears were glad to run. Father Bear loves fun; so does Mother
-Bear. When Father Bear saw Mother Bear looking half scared and dripping,
-he laughed. When Mother Bear turned to see what amused Father Bear, and
-saw him looking so ridiculous, with streams of water pouring from his
-huge body, she laughed.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-"Wouldn't Sonny laugh if he saw us now!" she chuckled. "Let's shake
-ourselves dry before we call him."
-
-Father Bear and Mother Bear supposed that Little Bear was still fast
-asleep, at home. But that very minute Little Bear was having an
-adventure of his own. He had no way of knowing how long he had been
-asleep when a saucy squirrel nipped his ear and ran away.
-
-Little Bear should have stayed where he was and waited for his father
-and mother to return. But Little Bear was restless, and he soon started
-off for a walk. Although he knew it was not yet dinner time at the
-bear's picnic grounds, he thought he would stroll over there.
-
-The bear's picnic grounds are back of the hotels in the Enchanted Land.
-There Little Bear quickly found a small sirup can. In went his wee paw,
-and out it came, dripping with sirup. He was the only bear at the party
-when he found that can, although big bears and little bears soon
-gathered, to be in time for dinner.
-
-At first Little Bear had a jolly time with his sirup can. But pretty
-soon instead of licking out the sirup with his tongue, he stuck his
-whole head into the can—and then he couldn't get it out! Then the fun
-began—for every one but Little Bear. Men with cameras took his picture
-as he danced around, trying to get that can off his head. First with one
-paw, then another, Little Bear tried to get rid of that sirup can. He
-bumped into other bears as he tried to get free, and was frightened by
-their growling and grumbling.
-
-[Illustration:
-
- _Little Bear had a jolly time with his sirup can_
-]
-
-At last he got away from the picnic grounds. Then he met a dog that
-began sniffing at his coat. The next thing Little Bear knew, a kind,
-familiar voice was saying, "Stand still, Little Bear, and don't be
-afraid. I am Mother Hubbard, and I will help you. Hush—don't speak my
-name. I am traveling through the Enchanted Land as plain Mrs. Hubbard,
-in order not to attract attention. My dog knew you. There, now you are
-free. You need not thank me. You see, I haven't forgotten the time you
-befriended my dog when he was lost in the forest." Then she disappeared.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-When Father Bear and Mother Bear found Little Bear soon afterward they
-told him their adventures. Then Little Bear told his. He declared he was
-homesick.
-
-"We are, too," confessed Mother Bear, with a smile at Father Bear.
-"There is really no place like home."

-paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
-agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
-
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
-Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
-of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual
-works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
-that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when
-you share it without charge with others.
-
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
-in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
-check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
-agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
-distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
-other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
-representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
-country outside the United States.
-
-1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
-
-1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
-immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear
-prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work
-on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the
-phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
-
- This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
- most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
- restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
- under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this
- eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the
- United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
- are located before using this ebook.
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
-copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
-the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
-redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
-either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or
-obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
-
-1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
-with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
-must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
-additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
-will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works
-posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
-beginning of this work.
-
-1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
-work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
-
-1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
-electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
-prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
-active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm License.
-
-1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
-compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including
-any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access
-to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format
-other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official
-version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site
-(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
-to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means
-of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original "Plain
-Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the
-full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
-
-1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
-performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
-unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

-provided that
-
-* You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
- the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
- you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
- to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has
- agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
- Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
- within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
- legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
- payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
- Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
- Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
- Literary Archive Foundation."
-
-* You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
- you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
- does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
- License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
- copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
- all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
- works.
-
-* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of

- distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
-
-1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project

-are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
-from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
-Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
-INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
-DAMAGE.
-
-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
-the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
-OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
-LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
-damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
-violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
-agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
-limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
-unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
-remaining provisions.
-
-1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
-production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
-mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its
-volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous
-locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt
-Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

- <h2 class='c005'>HOW MOTHER BEAR SAVED HER BABY</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>One time Little Bear came near being carried away to
-town. It was when he was a weenty baby, before he
-was big enough to have a porridge bowl of his own, or a
-tiny chair, or a wee bed upstairs. It happened this way:</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>When middle-sized Mother Bear came down one morning
-to get breakfast, she carried Baby Bear in her arms
-and put him in his wooden cradle with the rockers.
-He was wide awake, but while he lay there watching
-the fire in the big fireplace and listening to the teakettle
-singing and the porridge bubbling, he fell asleep again.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Quietly Mother Bear filled the big, big porridge bowl
-and the middle-sized porridge bowl. Then she motioned
-for Father Bear to sit at the table.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Isn't the porridge too hot?" whispered Father Bear,
-in a big, gruff whisper.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Middle-sized Mother Bear tasted the porridge and
-it burned her mouth. "Yes, it is too hot," she agreed.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_12'>12</span>"I will go for a walk in the forest while the porridge
-cools," said Father Bear as he reached for his big hat
-and tiptoed softly to the door.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>A few moments later Mother Bear stepped out to get
-a basin of rain water for Sonny Bear's bath. Sonny
-Bear was sound asleep, but Mother Bear carefully closed
-the door behind her when she left the little house.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>One moment later, a man, carrying a gun, saw the
-house in the forest, and, wondering who might live there,
-walked up the path and knocked at the door. He had
-been walking since daylight and was tired and hungry.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Straightway Mr. Man lifted the latch, went in, and
-walked over to the cradle. Instead of a little pink and
-white baby in the cradle, there lay a baby bear, sound
-asleep. Mr. Man smiled and stooped over to take
-Little Bear in his arms.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"I'll carry you home to my children for a pet," said
-Mr. Man.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>At that moment middle-sized Mother Bear opened
-the door. Oh, but she was frightened when she saw
-a man with a gun in his hand leaning over her baby's
-cradle! She feared he would run away with the baby
-and shoot whoever tried to stop him. Middle-sized
-Mother Bear tried to think what to do and in a second
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_13'>13</span>she remembered that sometimes men are afraid of fire.
-Running to the fireplace she seized a blazing log and
-darted at Mr. Man. One end of the log was not on
-fire, so Mother Bear didn't get burned.</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id003'>
-<img src='images/p013.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'>But that man! When he saw Mother Bear coming
-toward him with a blazing log, he jumped for the door
-and was gone before she had time to think twice! And
-he was never again seen near the Three Bears' home!</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Little Bear loves to hear about that man to this day.</p>

- <h2 class='c005'>GRANDFATHER GRIZZLY</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>Little Bear's parents had never told him about his
-Grandfather Grizzly, but Auntie Cinnamon's twins told
-Little Bear that Grandfather Grizzly talked like this:
-"Gr-gr-gr-ger-ger-row-rowl!"—only they made it sound
-like the north wind in November.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Little Bear shivered with fear. That pleased the twins
-so much they told one story after another, just to see
-Little Bear look frightened. But the joke was on them,
-because, while they were trying to scare Little Bear,
-they had frightened themselves so badly they jumped
-every time the friendly owl spoke in the forest.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Of course Little Bear straightway asked Father Bear
-many questions about Grandfather Grizzly and his folks.
-At last he said, "If I ever meet a grizzly, up I go, up I
-go, to the top of the highest tree!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"No, indeed! You shall not be a coward!" answered
-Father Bear. "If ever you see a grizzly coming, even
-Grandfather Grizzly himself, you walk on and meet him."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Meet him!" echoed Little Bear, in faint tones.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Yes, Son Bear, you meet him. Meet him face to
-face, and say, 'Good morning, sir.'"</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id001'>
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_15'>15</span>

-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_16'>16</span>After that Little Bear did not feel so happy in the big
-woods. He feared he might see a grizzly coming, and be
-obliged to meet him and say, "Good morning, sir!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>One day soon afterward, Little Bear fell asleep on a
-shelf of rock; he was comfortable in the warm sunshine.
-When he awoke he saw below him a huge bear
-patiently trying to take a bunch of burrs from the back
-of his neck. The burrs were sticking tight in his fur.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Little Bear might easily have slipped off the back of
-the rock and run softly away; instead, he offered to
-help the stranger get the burrs out of his coat.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Straightway the big bear turned a troubled face
-upward. "Then do so," he growled. "Jump down
-on my back, and use your sharp claws, young cub, and
-be quick about it." His tones were rough, but Little
-Bear did not blame the old fellow for that.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>When the burrs were out, Little Bear jumped to
-the ground.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"I thank you, sir," said the stranger, rising and
-shaking his huge body. "What's your name?"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Little Bear. I'm of the old, old family of the Three
-Bears, if you please," was the prompt and fearless answer.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"I am pleased to have met you," said the big bear,
-scratching his ear with his hind paw. "Tell your father
-and mother old Grandfather Grizzly says you are a brave
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_17'>17</span>young cub. If I can ever be of use to your family, I
-shall be glad. Good day, sir!" And off he went through
-the woods, "slipslop, slipslop," on his huge flat feet.</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id003'>
-<img src='images/p017.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'>Little Bear ran home as fast as he could.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"What did I tell you?" inquired Father Bear, when he
-had heard Little Bear's story.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"I'll never be afraid of the grizzlies again," answered
-Little Bear, gayly hopping about.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>But Auntie Cinnamon's twins still tremble at the
-thought of meeting Grandfather Grizzly.</p>

- <h2 class='c005'>BABY BEAR'S PARTY</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>Baby Bear loved the birds, so Mother Bear was not
-much surprised when Baby Bear dropped his wee porridge
-spoon at the breakfast table, and said in a shrill voice:</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Let's invite all the birds to a party!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"We will give the party to-morrow," said Mother Bear.
-"But what shall we offer the birds to eat?"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Blackberries and honey," replied Father Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Once I saw a robin eat a wiggly worm," said Baby
-Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"I'll tell you what we'd better do, Father Bear," said
-Mother Bear. "You take a walk around the edge of the
-woods and find out what the birds like best to eat."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Father Bear set out gayly enough, but he came back
-looking sad and discouraged.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"We can't have the party!" he said. "I have been
-asking questions, and what do you suppose I have
-learned? The robins eat worms, and they eat so many
-that we couldn't dig enough to satisfy one robin!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Then suppose we give a little party, and invite only
-catbirds," said Mother Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Catbirds!" exclaimed Father Bear, in a big, gruff
-voice. "Catbirds eat grasshoppers—thirty at a time!
-You can't buy jumping grasshoppers by the quart."</p>
-

-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_20'>20</span>"How about the kingbirds?" questioned Mother Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Kingbirds must have gadflies," grumbled Father Bear,
-"gadflies by the peck!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"How about the swallows?" asked Mother Bear, who
-saw Baby Bear winking hard to keep back the tears.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Swallows must have flies!" roared Father Bear, for
-he was all out of patience. "And spotted squash beetles!
-I'd look well stooping over in our garden five or six hours
-trying to catch squash beetles for company!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"We might ask chickadees," ventured Mother Bear.
-She saw two big tears rolling down Baby Bear's cheeks,
-so she mentioned chickadees. "They like crumbs."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"One chickadee," said Father Bear, in gentler tones,
-"would much prefer five thousand five hundred and fifty
-cankerworm eggs in a day. We can't invite chickadees!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Cedar birds?" murmured Mother Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Cedar birds dine on caterpillars. We could fill the
-washtubs, I suppose, and pass them round!</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Blackbirds spend half their lives chasing insects and
-eating weed seeds. The phœbe bird works for the farmers.
-She eats weevils that spoil wheat and peas and beans.
-The wood pewees eat flies. Woodpeckers and meadow
-larks, hawks, and all owls have strange appetites!"</p>

-
-<p class='c000'>This would be a sad story if it ended here, but it

-
-<p class='c000'>The birds loved Baby Bear, and when they found out
-why he cried so loud, they came in flocks to comfort him.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>After that, when Baby Bear awoke, he always saw
-hundreds of birds in the garden, searching for bugs,
-worms, and grasshoppers.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>And that is the reason why the Three Bears have such
-a wonderful garden.</p>

- <h2 class='c005'>WHEN MOTHER BEAR MADE PICKLES</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>One year the Three Bears decided to make pickles.
-They didn't like pickles themselves, but whenever Goldilocks
-and her family had picnics in the forest they
-brought pickles.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"We'd better make pickles this year," said the Middle-sized
-Bear, "so if Goldilocks should come to see Sonny
-Bear we could offer her something she likes, to eat with
-her porridge."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Next day Big Bear took a huge basket and went for
-wild cucumbers. When he brought them home Middle-sized
-Bear, with Baby Bear's help, began making pickles.
-They washed the cucumbers in the big dishpan.
-Then Middle-sized Bear gave Sonny Bear a big spoon
-and a bag of coarse salt.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Put the salt on the pickles," said Mother Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>For a few minutes Baby Bear did as he was told, and
-shoveled salt on the pickles. He was having a good
-time playing with the salt, when suddenly Baby Bear
-thought the salt looked so much like sugar that maybe
-it was sugar. By and by Baby Bear was so sure the
-salt was sugar that he opened his mouth wide and put
-in a big spoonful. Then how he roared and cried!</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id001'>
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_23'>23</span>
-<img src='images/p023.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-<div class='ic001'>
-<p><em>Baby Bear was having a good time playing with the salt</em></p>
-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_24'>24</span>Father Bear came running in, and Mother Bear
-scooped salt out of Baby Bear's big mouth until she
-wondered how one spoon could have held so much.
-When she couldn't see any more salt, she washed Baby
-Bear's mouth with cold water from the spring.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>After awhile Mother Bear put a large box of mustard
-on the kitchen table, and left it there while she went into
-the pantry to read a recipe for making mustard pickles.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Baby Bear wondered what was in that yellow box.
-Then he climbed in the middle-sized Mother Bear's
-middle-sized chair and reached for it. He worked and
-worked and worked until finally off came the cover of
-the box, and the mustard flew into Baby Bear's eyes.
-That mustard was so strong and hot it burned like fire!</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Father Bear came running and Mother Bear came
-running! The mustard got in their eyes, too, and soon
-the Three Bears were dancing up and down on the kitchen
-floor, crying out, "Mustard! Mustard! Mustard!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Then Father Bear had an accident. He knocked the
-pickles off the broad window sill into the sand.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Never mind," said Mother Bear, as she carried Baby
-Bear to the door for fresh air; "the pickles wouldn't
-have been good anyway, for the book I've been reading
-says pickles must be made of garden cucumbers!"</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id001'>
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_25'>25</span>
-<img src='images/p025.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'>It was a long
-time before
-wee Baby Bear
-stopped crying.
-Perhaps he might have
-cried until bedtime if a
-bumblebee hadn't brought
-him a bit of honey.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>After that the Three Bears
-went to walk.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Anyway," said the Middle-sized
-Bear, as she tied Baby Bear's bonnet
-strings, "anyway, there isn't anything
-so good as porridge! If Goldilocks can't
-eat porridge, if she ever comes visiting Baby Bear, she
-will have to go hungry! We shall certainly never make
-any more pickles!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>And they never did.</p>

- <h2 class='c005'>LITTLE BEAR AND BOB WHITE'S CHILDREN</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>One lovely spring morning Father Deer knocked at
-the door of the Three Bears' home in the forest.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Come in, Friend Deer, come in!" was Father Bear's
-welcome as he opened wide the door. "Come in and
-have a bowl of porridge!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"No, I thank you," answered Father Deer, "I am
-on my way to the wheat field for breakfast. Where is
-Sonny? Oh, there he is, behind his mother! Little
-Bear, I came to ask you to go for a walk with me, if
-your father and mother are willing. I should like to
-take you to see Bob White's children."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Oh, may I go, may I go?" asked Little Bear in a
-shrill, happy voice.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"To be sure, to be sure!" answered Father Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"But don't wander far from Friend Deer," warned
-his mother as she kissed Little Bear good-by.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Straight to the edge of the forest bounded Father
-Deer, with Little Bear close at his heels. When the
-two were near the wheat field they heard a brown bird
-singing in sweet tones, "Bob White! Bob White!"</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id001'>
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_27'>27</span>
-<img src='images/p027.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-<div class='ic001'>
-<p><em>Little Bear didn't go too near for fear of scaring the babies</em></p>
-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_28'>28</span>"He is a fine fellow, that quail who calls himself
-Bob White," said Father Deer. It was the first time
-he had spoken. Plump Little Bear was nearly out of
-breath trying to keep pace with Mr. Deer of the long
-legs, so he was glad to stop for a short talk.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"That gentle bird works for the farmer all the year,"
-Father Deer continued, as he stood beside Little Bear,
-looking through the bushes back of the stone wall surrounding
-the wheat field. "During the summer he
-works twelve hours a day destroying all kinds of bugs
-and worms. He eats hundreds of garden bugs at a
-time, Little Bear!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"I suppose he has to eat enough to last while he
-sleeps all winter," suggested Little Bear, looking wise.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Quail do not sleep all winter, and neither do our
-folks!" corrected Father Deer. "During the delightful
-winters when you bears are all tucked away in bed,
-sleeping as if you never intend to wake up, Bob White
-dines on weed seeds. He has been known to eat five
-thousand weed seeds at one meal!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Soon Father Deer led Little Bear to Bob White's
-home, and introduced him to the family—Bob White,
-Mrs. Bob White, and their eighteen children. Their
-nest was on the ground in the fence corner. Little Bear
-didn't go too near for fear of scaring the babies, who,
-with their beady black eyes, looked like balls of down.</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id003'>
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_29'>29</span>
-<img src='images/p029.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'>While Father Deer nibbled the new wheat, Little
-Bear stayed near the nest where he could see the Bob
-White children eat their breakfast.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"What would you do if a man should come out here
-and carry off your babies?" asked Little Bear, who
-longed to take one of the babies in his own big paw and
-give it a weenty squeeze.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Come, children," said Mrs. Bob White, "let us show
-Little Bear what would happen if a man should try to
-carry you off. Come on, we will play hide and seek
-with him."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_30'>30</span>Mrs. Bob White knew that Little Bear wouldn't take
-one of her children in his big paw and give it a weenty
-squeeze. "Come, children, run and hide. When you
-find one of my children, Little Bear, you say 'I spy!'
-Ready, children! One, two, three, hide!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>In a twinkling there was not a baby quail in sight.
-They scattered so quickly the minute their mother said
-"Hide!" that Little Bear was astonished. He searched
-and searched through the grass, but not a baby quail
-could he find. Then he noticed that Mrs. Bob White
-seemed to have broken her wing.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"How did it happen, Mrs. Bob White! Oh, how did
-it happen!" exclaimed Little Bear in distress, as he ran
-after her.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Immediately Mrs. Bob White straightened her wings
-and laughed. "Come, children," she called, and up
-rose eighteen baby quail from the grass where they had
-been playing hide-and-seek in plain sight.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"But didn't you get hurt?" inquired Little Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Not a bit of it!" replied Mrs. Bob White. "That
-is a trick of ours to give the babies a chance to hide.
-If a man should come out here to get my babies he
-would follow me just as you did, because he would
-believe, as you did, that I had broken my wing."</p>

-
-<p class='c000'>"Do the children always mind when you say 'Hide'?"
-inquired Little Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Always," replied Mrs. Bob White.</p>
-
-<hr class='c009' />
-
-<p class='c000'>At home Little Bear had a wonderful story to tell of

- <h2 class='c005'>MAPLE SUGAR FOR LITTLE BEAR</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>Goldilocks liked maple sugar. One springtime she
-asked her father and her mother so many questions
-about how maple sugar is made, that Father Goldilocks
-finally said. "Let us take a vacation. Let us pack up
-and go to the sugar bush."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"What's a sugar bush?" asked Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"A sugar bush," explained Father Goldilocks, "isn't a
-sugar bush. We say sugar bush when we mean a forest
-of maple trees. The sap of sugar maples is sweet, and—"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"What is sap?" interrupted Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"The sap of a tree," replied Father Goldilocks, "is
-its juice. The tree sends its roots deep into the ground
-after water to make its leaves grow. After the cold
-winter is over and the frost is out of the ground, the
-roots work hard pumping water up into the tree to
-help it quickly put on a new dress of fluttering green
-leaves. Sugar maples tell their roots to bring sugar
-out of the earth; they wish their sap sweetened."</p>

-<p class='c000'>"But how do we get maple sugar?" persisted Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"We tap the sugar-maple trees," began Father Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id003'>
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_33'>33</span>
-<img src='images/p033.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'>"What is tap?" inquired Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"To tap a tree," her father went on, "is to make a
-little hole in the trunk. Out of that the sap will drip.
-Sugar makers drive sticks in these holes in the trees, and
-hang buckets on them. The buckets are soon filled with
-sap. The sap is then boiled until all the water is gone
-and only sugar is left. That's how we get maple sugar."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>The very next day Goldilocks and her father and her
-mother drove to the forest and cleaned up a deserted
-little cabin where Father Goldilocks had made maple
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_34'>34</span>sugar when Goldilocks was a baby. Such a merry time
-they had, getting the little cabin ready to live in!</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Late that afternoon the three took a long walk in
-the woods. Father Goldilocks carried a big, big bucket.
-Mother Goldilocks carried a middle-sized bucket, and
-the wee, wee Goldilocks carried a wee, wee bucket.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>At last they reached a beautiful, sunbright clearing
-where stood three maple trees in a row: a big maple
-tree, a middle-sized maple tree, and a little maple tree.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Oh, let us tap these trees and hang our buckets
-here!" begged Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>She didn't know that that sunbright clearing was
-Little Bear's playground; neither did Mother Goldilocks
-know it, nor Father Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"This is a long way from our camp," objected Mother
-Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"But morning walks are lovely," added Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"So they are," agreed Father Goldilocks. "Suppose
-we tap these trees and come after our buckets of sap
-early in the morning when the birds are singing. This
-once we will make a long journey for the first sap of
-the season. Tomorrow we shall begin tapping the trees
-in our own camp, and soon you shall have maple sugar."</p>

-
-<p class='c000'>Goldilocks and her father and her mother did get up
-early in the morning, but the Three Bears rose earlier
-still and went out to walk. They were very hungry,
-because of their spring appetites. When they reached
-the sunbright clearing and saw three buckets hanging
-from three maple trees, they were surprised and pleased.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"I'm thirsty," said Father Bear. "I shall take a
-drink of this cool-looking water." And he lifted the
-big, big bucket, that was dripping full of maple sap,
-and took a taste.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"I'm thirsty, too," said Mother Bear, "so I'll take a
-drink!" She lifted the middle-sized bucket, that was
-dripping full of maple sap, and tasted it.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"And I'm thirsty, too," added Little Bear, "so
-I'll take a drink of water!" Then he lifted the wee,

-
-<p class='c000'>"Mine is sweet!" exclaimed Father Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Mine is sweet!" added Mother Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"And mine is sweet!" cried Little Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>The Three Bears drank every drop of the maple sap,
-and then went on dancing and singing for joy.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>And now came Goldilocks and her father and mother.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_37'>37</span>"Somebody's been drinking my sap!" shouted

-
-<p class='c000'>Back to their own camp went the

-
-<p class='c000'>As for Mother Bear and Father
-Bear, after they learned that

-they tapped trees and caught

-

-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>Big Father Bear and middle-sized Mother Bear were
-often obliged to leave Little Bear at home when they
-went away on business. Early one morning, when they
-were going after honey, they said, "Be a good child,
-Sonny Bear, while we are gone. Don't step outside
-the front gate or the back gate."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Little Bear promised, and all the forenoon he played
-happily in the garden, and sang:</p>
-
-<div class='lg-container-b c010'>
- <div class='linegroup'>
- <div class='group'>
- <div class='line'>"Ta-de-dum, dum, dum!</div>
- <div class='line'>Ta-de-dum, dum, dum!"</div>
- </div>
- </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'>as only a happy little bear can sing.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Early in the afternoon Mother Deer passed the house.
-"Little Bear," she called "there is a big storm coming,
-and your parents are away. Come home with me and
-stay until the storm is over."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"I thank you," answered Little Bear, most politely,
-"but I promised father and mother that I wouldn't
-go outside the yard."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Soon Father Rabbit came hopping along home.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Storm coming, Baby Bear," he called. "Come home
-with me until it is over. There is nothing like a warm,
-dry burrow when there is a storm."</p>

-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_40'>40</span>But Little Bear would not go. Soon Mrs. Reynard
-came hastening homeward.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Come, child, come!" she called to Little Bear.
-"Come and cuddle up with my children until the storm
-is over." But Baby Bear would not go, although the
-clouds were piling up and up above the forest, and the
-trees were beginning to toss their branches to and fro.
-One by one the squirrels, the butterflies, the birds, and
-the bees went by. Baby Bear felt queer and lonely;
-but he would not go outside the yard, although other
-neighbors invited him to their homes.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>At last pit-pat, pat, pat, patter—patter—patter
-down came big drops of rain. Suddenly two clouds
-rushed together over the little house in the forest, and
-they roared—crashety—crashety—bang—bang—bang!
-Little Bear knew that the sound was only thunder,
-and that the blinding flashes that soon came thick and
-fast were nothing but lightning, but he ran into the
-house and shut the door.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Big Bear had often told Little Bear that if ever he
-felt queer and lonely, the thing to do was to whistle.
-Little Bear felt queer and lonely now, so he puckered
-up his lips and whistled cheerily, although the storm
-made such an uproar that his best whistling sounded
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_41'>41</span>weak. Weaker still was a little pitiful whine outside
-the door, but Little Bear heard it, ran to the door, and
-opened it wide. A big, wet, shaggy dog tumbled into
-the room.</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id003'>
-<img src='images/p041.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'>Little Bear was so glad to see the dog that he ran to
-the cupboard to get him some bread. When he came
-back he thought the poor dog was dead, but he came
-to life instantly, and winked at Little Bear. Then he
-laughed, and rolled over and over on a rug, and dried
-his wet fur.</p>

-
-<p class='c000'>"I believe I'll get him

-said to himself, as he
-took a clean dish and
-went to the cupboard.
-When he came back the dog was sitting in Big Bear's
-chair, playing Big Bear's flute!</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Little Bear ran upstairs to get the dog a coat. When
-he came back, the dog was pretending to ride a goat!
-Sonny Bear then went to get him some shoes, and
-when he came back that dog was reading the news.
-Just for fun, Little Bear then looked for a key to fit
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_43'>43</span>in the lock, and sure enough, that dog began to wind
-the clock!</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Now I know who you are!" declared Little Bear.
-"You are Mother Hubbard's dog!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>And then the dog, because he was so glad that Little
-Bear knew him at last, began to dance a jig, and he did
-tricks, one after another, that kept Little Bear laughing
-until the storm was over.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Soon came Mother Hubbard, searching for her dog,
-"Oh, Little Bear," she said, "I thank you for being so
-kind to my dog! He hasn't had a bone for so long on
-account of my cupboard's being bare! He would have
-perished in the storm but for you, and without my dog
-I couldn't expect to get into another Christmas stocking!
-I wouldn't be worth mentioning if I were separated from
-my dog."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Bow-wow!" answered the saucy dog. And then he
-did all his tricks again, and made Mother Hubbard,
-big Father Bear, middle-sized Mother Bear, and Little
-Bear all laugh.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>That night Sonny Bear stirred and murmured in his

- <h2 class='c005'>SONNY BEAR'S ADVENTURE IN<br /> GOLDILOCK'S CAMP</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>One summer Father Goldilocks and Mother Goldilocks
-took Little Goldilocks and went to the forest to camp
-out. Their tent was new and white, and they found
-that the forest was a delightful place for a home.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Early every morning Mother Goldilocks rose to get
-breakfast. One morning, when she had blackberries
-ready in three bowls on the table, Father Goldilocks
-said: "Let us go to the river and catch some fish for
-breakfast."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>In a few moments Father Goldilocks, Mother Goldilocks,
-and Little Goldilocks were on their way to the river.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Then along came Little Bear, out for a morning walk.
-It happened he had never seen a tent before.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"It must be somebody's house," said Little Bear, as he
-knocked loudly on the front pole of the tent. Nobody
-answered his knock, so Little Bear opened the flap and
-walked in.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Near the table were three chairs in a row, a big, big
-camp chair for big, big Father Goldilocks, a middle-sized
-camp chair for middle-sized Mother Goldilocks, and a
-wee, wee chair for wee, wee Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id003'>
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_45'>45</span>
-<img src='images/p045.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'>After his long walk, Baby Bear was tired; so he sat down
-to rest in the big, big camp chair, but it was too high
-to be comfortable. He then tried the middle-sized camp
-chair, and that was too low to be comfortable. But
-when Little Bear tried the wee, wee camp chair for the
-wee, wee Goldilocks, it was neither too high nor too low;
-it was just right. So Little Bear sat hard in that wee,
-wee camp chair until he broke the bottom right out.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Then Little Bear decided to try the beds. In the tent
-were three beds, made of hemlock boughs and leaves,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_46'>46</span>covered with blankets; a big, big bed for big, big Father
-Goldilocks, a middle-sized bed for Mother Goldilocks,
-and a wee, wee bed for the wee, wee Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>First Little Bear tried the big, big bed, but it was too
-hard for him. Then he tried the middle-sized bed for
-Mother Goldilocks, and it was too soft for him. But
-when Little Bear cuddled down in the wee, wee bed for
-the wee, wee Goldilocks, it was neither too hard nor too
-soft; it was just right. So he went sound asleep.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Soon Father, Mother, and Little Goldilocks came
-home. The minute they opened the flap of the tent,
-Father Goldilocks exclaimed in a big, big voice: "Somebody
-has been sitting in my chair!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Somebody has been sitting in my chair!" exclaimed
-middle-sized Mother Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"And somebody has been sitting in my chair," added
-wee, wee Goldilocks, beginning to cry, "and he has sat
-the bottom right out!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Somebody has been lying in my bed!" thundered
-big Father Goldilocks, in a big, angry voice.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Somebody has been lying in my bed!" declared dear,
-middle-sized Mother Goldilocks.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Somebody has been lying in my bed," exclaimed wee,
-wee Goldilocks, in a shrill, shrill voice, "and there he is!"</p>

-began to dream that a thunderstorm was raging in the
-forest, until wee Goldilocks stood beside him, and said
-in her shrill voice, "There he is!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Little Bear awoke then, and when he saw good Father
-Goldilocks, Mother Goldilocks, and wee Goldilocks
-standing beside him, looking so angry, he sprang to his
-feet, and ran out of the tent, nor did he stop running until
-he reached his own home in the deep forest. When the
-three Goldilocks saw Little Bear run out of the tent
-they began to laugh. But Little Bear was so frightened
-he didn't go near the tent home again that summer.</p>

- <h2 class='c005'>WHAT FATHER BEAR SAID WHEN HE<br /> WAS TIRED</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>One day the big, big Father Bear said something when
-he was tired that made the middle-sized Mother Bear
-jump so she dropped a pan of apples off her lap, while
-Baby Bear danced around and laughed and laughed as
-if he never would stop.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>It happened this way. These Three Bears who lived
-in the forest were so fond of blackberries they had
-planted a patch of blackberry bushes in their own garden.
-Father Bear then bought three hoes—a big, big hoe for
-himself; a middle-sized hoe for the middle-sized Mother
-Bear, and a wee, wee hoe for the wee, wee Baby Bear.
-He also bought three tin pails—a big, big tin pail for
-himself, a middle-sized tin pail for the middle-sized
-Mother Bear, and a wee, wee tin pail for the wee, wee
-Baby Bear.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Every cool June morning the Three Bears used to
-work in their garden. Big Father Bear used to hoe the
-earth around the roots of the big, big blackberry bushes;
-middle-sized Mother Bear used to hoe the earth around
-the middle-sized blackberry bushes, while wee, wee Baby
-Bear used to hoe the earth wherever he chose.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_50'>50</span>Every evening, except when it rained, the Three Bears
-went through the garden gate and down the path to the
-river, where they filled their pails with water. The big,
-big Father Bear carried water to pour around the roots
-of the blackberry bushes in his big, big pail, while the
-middle-sized Mother Bear carried water in her middle-sized
-pail, and the wee, wee Baby Bear carried water in
-his wee, wee pail.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>One morning Mother Bear said it was too warm to work
-in the garden.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"But I wish to hoe in the garden!" exclaimed big, big
-Father Bear in his big, big voice.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"And I wish to hoe in the garden!" said the wee, wee
-Baby Bear in a shrill little voice.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Mother Bear stopped washing three porridge bowls long
-enough to say, "All right, Father Bear, but Baby Bear
-must stay in the house and play with his blocks until
-it is cooler out of doors!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>For a few minutes Baby Bear cried hard because he had
-to stay in the house, and then he settled down happily
-to play with his blocks.</p>

-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_52'>52</span>Father Bear immediately put on his wide straw hat
-and went into the garden, where he hoed and hoed and
-hoed without saying a word. After a while Father Bear
-felt so warm and tired he stopped to rest a few minutes.
-He took off his big, big straw hat. He pulled out his red
-bandana handkerchief and wiped his face. Then he
-fanned himself with his big, wide hat, but he didn't say
-one word.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Soon Father Bear picked up his hoe again and hoed
-and hoed. At last, when he was too tired to hoe any
-longer, he left the garden and walked into the house.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Mother Bear was sitting in her middle-sized chair
-with her back to the door. She was paring apples to
-make apple sauce, and didn't see Father Bear when he
-kicked off his big, floppy slippers; but Baby Bear saw
-him, and smiled.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Then something happened! Father Bear, with a wink
-at Baby Bear, sat down in his big, big chair, hard and
-suddenly—bump! He sat down so hard the porridge
-bowls rattled in the cupboard! Next he put both feet
-on the table, pulled out his red bandana to wipe his
-face, and burst forth in a loud tone—"Oh, hum!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>It was then Mother Bear jumped so the apples rolled
-to the floor, and Baby Bear danced round and round
-and laughed and laughed as if he never would stop
-dancing and laughing.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Well, father," said Mother Bear in a half-pleasant,

-
-<p class='c000'>Father Bear nodded his head at Baby Bear, grinned,
-and said louder than ever, in the biggest, big bear voice,
-"Oh, hum! Oh, hum! Oh, hum-ey—hum—hum!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Then the Three Bears laughed and laughed until
-they cried, and Big Bear had to pass around his big, red
-bandana to wipe away their tears! But he didn't hoe
-any more that day, because it certainly was too warm.</p>

- <h2 class='c005'>HOW LITTLE BEAR WENT TO A PICNIC</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>One time Little Bear went to a picnic to which he was
-not invited. It happened this way. On a lovely summer
-morning five big girls had a picnic, and left their baby
-brothers and sisters at home. The babies didn't cry,
-because they were all taking naps when the big sisters
-packed their picnic baskets and walked to the forest.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"I almost wish that I had brought my little sister,"
-said one of the girls on reaching the woods.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"So do I," said another. "I feel lonesome without
-my little, laughing sister."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"And my baby brother," added another girl. "I
-thought he would be too much bother, but if he were
-only here, how happy he would be! I am lonely, too!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"If we had brought our little brothers and sisters,"
-said the fourth big girl, "we would have our picnic on
-the edge of the woods, without going a step farther!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"They might have taken naps under the trees after
-dinner," agreed the fifth big sister.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Then, instead of spreading their tablecloth on the
-green grass on the edge of the forest, the five big girls
-walked on and on until they reached a beautiful clearing
-where sunshine streamed in and drove the shadows
-back among the trees. The girls didn't know that the
-beautiful clearing was Little Bear's favorite playground.
-They didn't know that a vine-covered path led from the
-clearing straight to the home of the Three Bears.</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id001'>
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_55'>55</span>

-<p><em>Soon came all the Three Bears' wildwood friends</em></p>
-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_56'>56</span>Quickly the big girls unpacked their picnic baskets.
-They spread a white tablecloth on the pine needles. One
-girl ran to the brook and filled a pail with clear, cold
-water. The others filled a wooden plate with sandwiches,
-and placed it on the table—ham sandwiches,
-jelly sandwiches, and peanut-butter sandwiches. On
-other wooden plates were cookies, doughnuts, chocolate
-cake, cream cake, and maple-sugar cake. One girl
-had brought a dish of honey, another a can of jelly,
-while the biggest girl untied a box of chocolates and put
-it on the table beside a saucer of fudge.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Then the girls gathered bunches of fringed gentians
-to decorate the white cloth. Birds were singing and
-butterflies were flitting about when the five big girls
-sat in a circle around their picnic dinner.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>But before a girl had taken a bite of anything, somebody
-came to the picnic who hadn't been invited!
-That somebody was Little Bear. He walked across
-the clearing slowly and politely. Little Bear wasn't
-a bit afraid of five pretty girls sitting in a circle on his
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_57'>57</span>playground; he knew they wouldn't do <em>him</em> any harm!</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id003'>
-<img src='images/p057.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'>But when the girls saw Little Bear they jumped up
-and ran away, screaming, "A bear! A bear! A bear!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Little Bear was so surprised he stood still and watched
-the five girls until the last pink ribbon and blue ribbon
-had disappeared. Then he doubled up, and laughed, and
-laughed, until Father Bear and Mother Bear came. They
-laughed, too, when Baby Bear explained the fun.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Did they think I would eat them up?" asked Little

-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_58'>58</span>"Too bad you scared the girls
-away from their dinner," said
-Father Bear, in his big, gruff

-
-<div class='figleft id005'>
-<img src='images/p058.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Yes, come to the picnic,"
-added Mother Bear, helping
-herself to a creamy chocolate.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Come to the picnic!" called
-Baby Bear, after he had tasted
-everything on the table. "Come, squirrels,
-come, birds, come, butterflies, and
-share our picnic!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Soon came troops of squirrels and
-rabbits and all the Three Bears' wildwood
-friends, and to this day there is
-gleeful talk in the forest of Little Bear's
-picnic.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>As for those five girls, the next time
-they planned a picnic they took their
-baby brothers and sisters, and had a
-jolly time under the trees near the
-edge of the forest, and Baby Bear
-never heard a word about it.</p>

- <h2 class='c005'>THREE BEARS IN THE ENCHANTED LAND</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>One time Father Bear and Mother Bear went on a
-long journey, and took Little Bear with them. After
-the Three Bears had traveled many days through the big
-forest, they reached the Enchanted Land. There were no
-fairies or witches or gnomes or brownies in this land;
-but there were springs of hot water and springs of cold
-water; there were straight, tall trees and bright flowers;
-there were rocks of many colors, and rugged mountains.
-Best of all, no hunters were allowed to harm the folks
-who lived in the Enchanted Land, or who, like the
-Three Bears, came there to enjoy their holidays.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>When Father Bear and Mother Bear learned they were
-safe from guns, no matter what they did, they began
-to have a jolly time. They poked their noses into
-men's pockets; they peeped into tents; they grew more
-fearless every day. At last, one day, Father Bear and
-Mother Bear decided to walk into one of the big hotels
-in the Enchanted Land and see what it was like inside.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Little Bear was taking a nap in the sunshine when
-Father Bear and Mother Bear stepped into their hotel.
-No one was in sight. Father Bear and Mother Bear
-followed their noses until they reached a big dining room.
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_60'>60</span>On the table were bowls of sugar. Mother Bear and
-Father Bear helped themselves. At first they walked
-softly about, but soon they began stepping heavily
-and rattling dishes. Then came men—waiters. Now
-Father Bear was a big, big bear, and Mother Bear was
-a middle-sized bear, and the men were frightened.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Come, come!" one of the men cried, waving a towel,
-"you get right out of this!"</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Father Bear replied in a big, gruff voice. The men
-didn't understand what Father Bear said, but they
-didn't like his tone.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>When it became known that two huge bears were
-helping themselves to sugar in the dining room, there
-was great excitement in the hotel. Perhaps if the head
-waiter had politely requested them to leave, they would
-have done so immediately; but when the pompous
-fellow began shouting and throwing things at them,
-Father Bear refused to budge, and Mother Bear stood
-firm.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Then two men, each dragging a hose, entered the
-dining room from the back and turned streams of water
-on Father Bear and Mother Bear. The water, cold,
-steady, and blinding, shot full in their faces—swish-bang?
-Then the bears were glad to run. Father Bear loves
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_61'>61</span>fun; so does Mother Bear. When Father Bear saw
-Mother Bear looking half scared and dripping, he laughed.
-When Mother Bear turned to see what amused Father
-Bear, and saw him looking so ridiculous, with streams of
-water pouring from his huge body, she laughed.</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id003'>
-<img src='images/p061.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'>"Wouldn't Sonny laugh if he saw us now!" she
-chuckled. "Let's shake ourselves dry before we call
-him."</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>Father Bear and Mother Bear supposed that Little
-Bear was still fast asleep, at home. But that very
-minute Little Bear was having an adventure of his own.
-He had no way of knowing how long he had been asleep
-when a saucy squirrel nipped his ear and ran away.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_62'>62</span>Little Bear should have stayed where he was and
-waited for his father and mother to return. But Little
-Bear was restless, and he soon started off for a walk.
-Although he knew it was not yet dinner time at the
-bear's picnic grounds, he thought he would stroll over
-there.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>The bear's picnic grounds are back of the hotels in
-the Enchanted Land. There Little Bear quickly found
-a small sirup can. In went his wee paw, and out it
-came, dripping with sirup. He was the only bear at the
-party when he found that can, although big bears and
-little bears soon gathered, to be in time for dinner.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>At first Little Bear had a jolly time with his sirup
-can. But pretty soon instead of licking out the sirup
-with his tongue, he stuck his whole head into the can—and
-then he couldn't get it out! Then the fun began—for
-every one but Little Bear. Men with cameras
-took his picture as he danced around, trying to get that
-can off his head. First with one paw, then another,
-Little Bear tried to get rid of that sirup can. He
-bumped into other bears as he tried to get free, and
-was frightened by their growling and grumbling.</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id001'>

-<p><em>Little Bear had a jolly time with his sirup can</em></p>
-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'><span class='pageno' id='Page_64'>64</span>At last he got away from the picnic grounds. Then
-he met a dog that began sniffing at his coat. The next
-thing Little Bear knew, a kind, familiar voice was saying,
-"Stand still, Little Bear, and don't be afraid. I am
-Mother Hubbard, and I will help you. Hush—don't
-speak my name. I am traveling through the Enchanted
-Land as plain Mrs. Hubbard, in order not to attract
-attention. My dog knew you. There, now you are free.
-You need not thank me. You see, I haven't forgotten
-the time you befriended my dog when he was lost in
-the forest." Then she disappeared.</p>
-
-<div class='figcenter id001'>
-<img src='images/p064.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-</div>
-
-<p class='c000'>When Father Bear
-and Mother Bear
-found Little Bear
-soon afterward they
-told him their adventures.
-Then
-Little Bear told his.
-He declared he was
-homesick.</p>
-
-<p class='c000'>"We are, too,"
-confessed Mother
-Bear, with a smile
-at Father Bear.
-"There is really no
-place like home."</p>

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
