Berry was the happiest little girl
after this! No more signs from her
about how lonesome she was. It was
lots OF fun learning the names of fow-

wasn't long before she was very
friendly with the chipm unk family.
Before summer was over she had even
learned to know the insect family
although. she never quite learned TO
love them.

Berry told Aunt Jennie.

"A bear" answered Charlie prompt

"A bear. He was standing in the

what do you suppose he was doing?"

Charlie nearly tumbled off his fathers
lap in his eagerness to know.
"F1shing!" declared his father
solemnIy.
"Fishing?" echoed the little boy
increduIously.
Yes. sir. fishing his paws,
Charlie. The bear had pushed well
back under a willow, that hung out
over the stream. so that the fish
couldn't see him. When Mr.. Bruin
would see a fish, quick as a flash he'd
raise a fore paw and hit that fish so
hard that it would be hurled fifteen
feet from the water!"
