“Oh! they eat many different kinds of
food. If they cant getea sheep or a lamb,
they will take a pro, or if they camt sect
either of these, they will live on nuts, or
fruits, or even roots. Bears are very fond
of honey, and that also reminds me of my
little boys.” i

“ But, I guess they don’t get much honey
to eat, do they, mamma?”

'Oh, yee there are vila bees in the
woods, which store their honey in hollow
trees, and between the rocks.” |

“But will not the bees sting the bears
_ when they take their honey?”

“Nes, tliey try to: but the bear have
such long fur, that they can’t, get at them
very easily. But sometimes eye get into
their ears or their eyes, and then ae bears
have to pay for their mischief, just as little
boys often do.”

“Well, I didnt think we were so much
like bears, did you, Johnny ?”

No, Harry, I did not.
