Bedtime Stories
Buster Bear Gets Only a Taste
By Thornton w. Burgess
To act tho best and sa0eetese things
You'll oft endure many stings.

Buster Bear felt at peace with the
whole Great World. Never had the
Green Forest seemed more beautiful.
Life was very, very good. 1t was
splendidly worth while to be alive. You
see Buster was happy. He couldn't
have been any happier. He knew just
where was the thing he most desired
in all the Great World, and he was on
his way to get 1t.
So he shufied along through the
Green Forest in q way that looked
ground at q rate which would have
left you and me far behind had we been
trying to keep up with him. Buster
can travel fast when in hurry, and
he was In hurry now. II seemed to
him that he couldn't get to the place
he was bound for fast enough. What
place was it7 Why, It was that first
Bee-tree he had found by following
Farmer Browns boyl
GAIL the honey can eat! My, my,
myl All the honey can eatl" he kept
muttering to himself as he hurried
along, and then his mouth would water
and he would lick his lips and grin.
Presently he came to the treo where
Busy Bee and her sisters had made
their home ever since they had left
che hive in Farmer Browns door
yard early in the summer. II was
big tree and a tall tree. The hollow
which Busy Bee and her sisters had
chosen for their home was high above
the ground and there was only a small
hole for an entrance. From the ground
you would never in the world have
suspected that there was q hollow up
there, for the entrance was so small
hole that it could hardly be seen from
that distance.
Buster stood up at the foot Of the
tree and shifted long and hard. Two
odors mingled in his wonderful nose.
One made him uncomfortable. 1t was
the scent Farmer Browns boy had left
on the trunk Of the tree when he had
made his mark there. The man scent
always makes Buster uncomfortable
The other made him tingle ali over
with pleasure. 1t was the scent of
honey.
For just q minute that man scent
made Buster hesitate. But it was for
only a minute. "Pshaw!" grumbled
Buster. There is nothing to worry
about. Didn't I see with my own eyes
Farmer Browns boy leave the Green
Forest and start for homer" He took
one more sniff and the scent of honey
settled matters. He put his big paws
around that tree and began to scram-
bic up.
Now he was no sooner we'll started
than Busy Bee and her sisters heard
him and came swarming out to see
what was going on. The instant they
discovered Buster Bear they knew what

Buster Bear.

he was after; and humming angrily
they flew in cloud to try to drive
him back. In just about two seconds
there was mass Of angry Bees about
Busters head and each Bee carried a
sharp little lance and was quite ready
and eager to use it. Buster had to
stop to slap at them with one big paw
while he held on to the tree with the
other.
They got in his ears and up his nose,
and my, how they did sting! They
worked their way down in his fur
coat. Buster growled and whined and
whimpered and snarled, but he kept
on. Those stings hurt. Of course
they hurt. But that honey would be
worth all it was costing to get it..
So, .slapping, growing, whining, whim-
pering, snarling, Buster kept on until
he reached the bare, dead place where
the hollow was. The wood wasn't as
soft as he had hoped it would be.
In fact, it wasn't soft at all. He dug
his great claws into it and tried to pull
it apart, but it wouldn't pull apart
AT last he managed to hook two
claws in the little hole which the Bees
used for an entrance. He pulled with
all his might and tore out a long piece
OF wood and with it came a piece of
honeycomb filled with honey. It wasn't
q very big piece, but it was taste.
Buster seized it greedily. My, how good
1t tasted! And right then something
happened. Buster got that taste, but
that was all.
