BEDTIME STORY

why Bobby Coon Decided To Stay

Why Bobby Coon Decided To Stay
"HEN Buster Bear departed to
W to take a nap in his own bed
in his own house he left very much
troubled and uncertain Coon In the
little cave in the rocky ledge. Yef, sir,
he certainly did. At first Bobby was
for getting away from there just as
soon as he could be sure that the way
was clear and safe. The very thought OF
having Buster Bear for such a near
neighbor gave him chills. But he didn't
dare start right away, because he
wasn't sure, absolutely sure, that Bus
ter Bear had gone to his home for q
nap. He might, he just might be wait
ing outside ready to pounce on Bobby
the instant he should come out.
So there was nothing to do but stay
a while, and this gave him time to
think. Sometimes IT, is a good thing
to have to think. II there was more
thinking there would believer mistakes
made. At first all of Bobby's thinking
was of how he could get away and
where he would 60. But after a little
he began to think Of what Buster Bear
had said and how really friendly Bus
ter had seemed. He hadn't sounded at
all as if he intended to do Bobby any
harm.
He sounded just as IL he meant
what he said about being glad that
I am to be his nearest neighbor, and
that he hoped would be neighborly,'
said Bobby to himself. ..Of course, il
could be sure that he wouldn't try
to catch me would stay. This is the
very best house I ever was in. 1t
doesn't seem right to have to give it
up when I've just found it. / never in
my life felt safer than l do right here
this minute. Not even a hunter could
get me here, and he could in hollow
tree. Buster Bear said couldn't make
my home in a safer place, and, my
goodness. 1 believe he is right. If it
wasn't the safest place in the Green
Forest he never would be making his
home here in this same rocky ledge.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-04-16

l don't know of any one more bashful
and retiring than my cousin, Buster
Bear. II he lives here, and he does, be-
cause I have seen his house and bed,
it means that there are mighty few
visitors to this part of the Green
Forest"
The more Bobby thought this over
the more uncertain he grew about
leaving. And then another thought
popped into his head. If anybody came
providing about there and found that
Buster Bear made his home there they
would be sure to leave in a hurry
and not come back, for everybody, even
Old Man Coyote, has the greatest
respect for great big Buster Bear Was
that what Buster meant when he said
that Bobby couldn't have chosen a safer
place to make his home in? A house
that no one bigger than he could get
into, a place that every one would keep
away from ehrough fear of and respect
for Buster Bear-what could he better :?
Buster never has bothered me
but that once, and then he lost his
temper because he was so hungry"
