very rich man lived. He went to see
another great man good ways off
This man had a little son of whom he
was very proud. The queen left the

with them. The nurse said she had
to take care of the baby but they
made her come and dance. The baby

When Mary saw the box she was so
anxious to see what was inside that she
could hardly wait till the bear opened it.
When he did, she saw something
which surprised her very much.
Lying in the box she saw beautiful
pearl necklace, which the bear told her
belonged to the queen of that country
Mary remembered seeing a notice i'm
the paper that the queen had lost a
lovely pearl necklace which she valued
very much, as it had been handed down
through the family and had at last be-
lOnged to her. She said that one day
as she was walking through the forest

so much that she fled to her palace, and
as she was going to her room she
missed her necklace; so thinking she
had dropped it in the forest, she sent
some men to look for it. But they
could not find it.
The bear saw the queen drop the
necklace, so he picked it up and hid
it in this hole.
He told Mary that she could have it.
He then took her home to her mother.
who Scolded her for not bringing the
water, but when she saw the necklace
she was very glad and kissed Mary
again and again.
They took the necklace to the queen.
who was so pleased that she gave
them 500 and thanked her very much.

wished. There stood a table with
plenty to eat and drink After they

After she had enjoyed a pleasant

Mary was anxious to see what was in
the box
In the box was the little butterfly.
The bear didn't want his little bears
to see it.
The big bear put the box in the
hole and covered it with dirt.
He told her to get on his back, and
he took her home.
When they got home the bear let
her off and said, Good by" When
she went in the house she told har
mamma what had happened. She said
that she put her pail down and ran
after butterfly. Her mamma said:
"You ought to have a whipping, but
I will let it go this time
Then she took her doll and played.

There was little box underneath
this one. Mary asked the bear if she
might open it, and there was a little
ball and in the other box there was
larger ball and then the bear pulled an
other box. 1t was still larger ball.
Then he said, "Come with me-"
They went farther and farther into
the wood; at last they came to little
house. They set their balls on the
table and she went in the other room.
Then they stayed and stayed They
lived just like Curly Locks. After
