Olivia meets Yogi Bear and Boo Boo Bear

In the glade of the forest, Olivia made her way into the center of the woods, calling out his name twice.

"Mister Dog! Oh, Mister Dog!"

However, Dijon was gone again. There was still no luck for the Scottish-British girl mouse to catch the Arabian dog.

"Oh, dear. I’m sure he came this way,” she said, looking around with her fists on her hips. "Do you suppose he could be hiding somewhere?"

Little did she know that there were two bears peeking from behind the bushes.

One bear has brown fur, wearing a light green necktie and a matching newsboy cap. His name was Yogi Bear.

The other bear has lighter brown fur, wearing a purple bow tie. His name was Boo Boo Bear, Yogi's friend.

"Where could he possibly be hiding?" Olivia wondered, as she looked behind a tree. The two bears moved between the bushes and the tree, yet they were hidden within a shadow. As Olivia turned toward an open log, the bears moved next to the tree and they stood right behind her.

"Not here…," Olivia said, before kneeling down to the log’s level. "I wonder..."

As she crawled into the log, the bears looked at each other and skipped on top of the log in unison, before stopping in front of the other side of the log. Once Olivia came out from the log, she stood still for a moment and brushed her dress with her hands.

"I suppose he—" she started to say, before she jolted and gasped in shock when she turned and glanced at the two bears.

"Why… what peculiar bears."

Just then, she spotted two blue ribbons with their names embroidered in yellow and read them one at a time: "Yogi Bear...And Boo Boo Bear!"

Olivia placed a finger on the tall bear's nose, and a low honking sound came out of his mouth, surprising her.

"If you think we're made of wax, you ought to pay to see us, you know." Yogi said, and he jabbed his younger friend with his left elbow. As a result, a high honking noise emitted from Boo Boo's mouth.

"If you think we've come to life, you ought to say something to us." Boo Boo added, before jabbing his friend with his right elbow. The same low honk came out of Yogi's mouth, and Yogi bounced into Boo Boo, the same high honk emitting from him. The bears then hopped on the log and made the same honking noises by jabbing one another with their small feet, thickset hips, torsos, and backs before landing on the grassy terrain.

"That's logic!" the bears said in unison, holding their left index fingers up.

"Well," Olivia said with a short chuckle, as she gave them a short curtsey. "It's been nice meeting you boys. Goodbye."

Just as she started walking away, however, the bears darted and stood right in her way.

"You’re beginning backwards." Yogi said to her.

"Aye, the first thing to say actually is,” Boo Boo added, before the bears broke out in song again and took Olivia's hands. They spun her around in a circle, like a game of ring-around-the-Rosie, before they shook her hands rapidly and released her, causing her to fall on the ground.

Yogi and Boo Boo: *How do you do*
*And shake hands*
*Shake hands*
*Shake hands*
*How do you do*
*And shake hands*
*State your name and business*

"That's manners!" the bears said to her, holding up their opposite index fingers in front of her.

The two front bangs of Olivia's fur-hair were covering her face, so Olivia flipped them out of the way to give herself a better view.

"Really?" Olivia asked them, and she then stood up on her feet. "Well, my name is Olivia, and I’m following an Arabian dog, so—"

As she turned to leave, the bears suddenly appeared in front of her again, stopping her in her tracks.

"You can't leave yet." Yogi said to her, waving his hands in front of her.

"No, the visit has just started." Boo Boo added.

"I'm very sorry, but—" Olivia said as she continued walking, with the bears still in her way.

"Would you like to play hide and seek?" Boo Boo asked, as multiple clones of the bears popped up from the trees and a single bush. The clones disappeared, and the bears then fused themselves into one body, yet their legs and arms were still with each of the two bears.

"Button! Button! Who's got the button?" Yogi said.

"No thank you." Olivia replied to them politely, only to see the bears in front of her again in fighting stances.

"If you stay a little longer, we’ll have a battle." Boo Boo said, and the bears began bopping one another in a honking, comical fight.

"That’s very kind of you, but I must get going." Olivia said, as she gently pushed them out of the way. The bears then jolted in front of her and stood next to two trees that served as an archway in the woods.

"Why?" they asked her in unison.

"Because I’m following an Arabian dog." Olivia answered them, only to be blocked by them again.

"Why?" the bears asked her once more.

"Well, I'm curious to know where he's going." Olivia replied to them, before finally starting to leave again.

"Ohhh, she's curious." Boo Boo whispered, as he and Yogi had inquisitive expressions on their faces.

"The oysters were curious, too, weren’t they?” Boo Boo whispered to him, causing Olivia to stop and turn around to listen to what the bears were saying.

"Aye. And you remember what happened to them."

The bears huddled with one another and started crying before Olivia came walking straight back to them as Yogi removed his hat and placed it over his heart to pay respect.

"Poor things!" they said in sad voices.

"Well, what did happen to the oysters?" Olivia asked them. Yogi and Boo Boo began marching towards the log as Yogi twirled his hat on his finger.

"Oh, you wouldn’t be interested in hearing about it." Yogi said to her.

"Oh, but I am." Olivia replied to them, as she followed them and got in front of them.

"Ohhh, no. You’re in much too much of a hurry." said Boo Boo.

Olivia was still in front of them as she was walking in reverse towards the log, and said, "Well, perhaps I could spare a little time."

"You could?" the bears said, smiles of delight forming on their faces. "Well!"

With that said, Yogi set his hat back on his head, and he and Boo Boo placed Olivia on the log before making back-flips and landed in front of the bushes and trees.
