Story 75

Beware of Bear

Cher said, "I shouldn't swear, but these woods

scare me so, Pierre.

"The woods have made my patience wear, and now

they're more than I can scarcely bear. You should

have taken more care ! You know I am a millionaire

and want to live to be a forebear – that is, to bear a

child who’ll be my heir.

"Never again will I err and dare go anywhere
near where there are any bear."

Story 76

Love at the County Fair

At the fair I watched a pair of grizzly bear that had been caught asleep in their

lair.

To my surprise, they ob•vi•ous•ly thought theirlife was not unfair. They received

ex•cel•lent care. Moreover, they had a better-than ever love affair, and a flair

for swinging through the air without the slightest scare.
