THE

THE THREE BEARS

T happened that on a time there lived
in a wood three bears; and of these
one was a GREAT BIG BEAR, the
second was a MIDDLE-SIZED BEAR,
and the third was a were WEE BEAR,
Each slept in his own bed, and natur-
ally so, for the

GREAT BIG BEAR there was a GREAT BIG

BED, and also, quite naturally, for the

MIDDLE-SIZED BEAR there was a MIDDLE-SIZED

BED, and, you can see for yourself, if you have

common intelligence, for the

WEE WEE BEAR there was provided a wEez WEE BED.

But that was not all: each had his own chair to

sit in, and naturally so, for the

GREAT BIG BEAR there was a GREAT BIG

CHAIR, and also, quite naturally, for the

MIDDLE-SIZED BEAR there was a MIDDLE-SIZED

CHAIR, and also, in accordance with the dictates

of common sense, for the

WEE WEE BEAR there was provided a wreE WEE CHAIR.

That does not complete what has to be told.

There goes more to the story than that. Each

bear had a pot out of which to eat his porridge,

and the

GREAT BIG BEAR had a GREAT BIG POT,
