An ADimal Story For
Little Folks
CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE
AND EAT IT TOO

Have you heard about Little Bruin and
how he saved the honey? No? Well,
guess that /. because It only happened
the other day.
His grandfather promised him that
II be were good bear and kept his
paws clean for a week he should 60
with him to gather honey, and that IL
be helped well he should have Jar.
Bruin was, of course, a model bear,
and at the end Of the week went out
into the woods with grandpa bear to
get the honey which the bees had put
away in the hollow trees. Little Bruin
worked well, and he and grandpa
filled up several jars with the sweet
sirup, and one of these was given to
our little bear.
He was delighted. Trudging along
toward Bearville he Rugged the pre-
cious jar to his little stomach and
thought what he would do with all
that honey.
"I'll give some of It to Tiny and to
Jim and some to Southpaw and some

jar. 1t looked so good that he took q
lick with his tongue.
MY. that's goodi guess I'll sell
half of 1t and buy myself toys" Then
he took another lick.
"My, it's nearly half gone" he
thought. II guess I'll save the rest
for the fair for the Bears Orphan
home next week." But his little
tongue found its way to the jar again.
When they reached the milepost, near
home, his grandpa said, "Bruin, you
better let me carry that jar: you seem
to be losing the honey out of it,"
"Oh, no, grandpa" said he. ''only
one mile more and then I'll give some
to that lame bear next door," But that
tongue could not keep from that honey.
When they reached home it was all
gone.
II wish I had that honey said he.
"You have it," said his grandpa,
''but it's in the wrong place, that's all. y
