sugar house he know was mething

a Bear. He tried to look in at the
little windows. He dug his claws
INTO the cracks and tried to tear
them open. He climbed up on the
roof again, but he took care not to
go too near that chimney.
Finally he stood up on his hind
legs in front of the door and tried
TO get his claws in the cracks. In
doing this he accidentally put one
paw down on the latch and lifted Il.
ne door swung toward him. Boxer
saw IT start to move and turned a
back somersault in his hurry to get

Boxer and Woof Woof stared at it
with fear and wonder, each hiding
behind big tree. They didn't know

This time he almost reached the sugar

a Merry Little Breeze pushed it to.
Once more Boxer took to his heels.
Presently the door swung open again.

Boxer shifted long and hard. "No,"
said he, most decidedly, Il don't
believe that thing is anything to be
afraid Of after all. it is nothing but

Again Boxer cautiously approached
the door. This time the Merry Little
Breezes we're not about. The door
didn't move. He reached out and
touched it. When he touched it it
moved and he jumped back Then
he tried it again. Of course the sar1e
