Bedtime Stories
Buster Bear Is Sorry Looking Object
By Thornton w. Burgess
To sudden anger don't give avay;
1t neuer get acas knoacn to pay.

buster Bear swan about in the pond
of Paddy the Beaver until he was sure
that those justly angry Hornets had
returned to their ruined home to make
plans for a new home The cool water
relieved somewhat the smart of those
stlngs, and it was equally cooling to
MS temper By the time he felt it
safe to go ashore on the opposite side
OF the pond he had partly regained
control OF that temper and was be-
ginning to feel ashamed of himself.
Just as if / didn't have trouble
enough without stirring up those Hor-
nets, he muttered i-, lis deep, grum-
bly,, rumbly voice as 20 shook the
water from his coat. at is queer what
foolish things a fellow will do when
he is mad | must look for some mud.
Gracious, how those stings do smart, .
SO Buster Bear splashed along the
edge, of the pond of Paddy the Beaver
to the upper end There he found a
big patch of soft mud. He rubbed it
all over his head and shoulders Then
ne laid down in it and rolled until
ne was covered with mud from head
to feet. He was plastered with it.

Blacky knows. for he saw him But
Buster didn't care how he looked That
mud was cooling and took some of
the smart out of those stngs.
Blacky hawed hawed right out. He
had to. Busters face was swelled un-
til it didn't look like the face of a
Bear at all. Nothing of his beautiful
black coat was to be seen. He was
just big moving mass of sticky gray
mud. He looked up at Blacky the Grow
and growled, but it was not very
ugly growl. You see Buster had lust
seen his reflection in the water and
nc couldn't really blame Blacky for
laughing at him. Buster Bear has
sense of humor.
So though he growled, he wasn't
really angry. In fact, he felt so re-
heved that he was recovering his usual
good nature. Blacky the Grow might
laugh at him if he wanted to; he didn't
care as long. as those stings ceased
smarting. But he didn't care to be
seen by any more of his neighbors
because he knew that if he were he
