THE BROWN BEAR. IJ
IJ
many days. I only sat at a distance, and
looked at it, and thought how it might have
been otherwise if I had been a bear-hunter
instead of a bear. I fancied Anna could have
loved me then. Some weeks afterwards I saw
her and her little brother, some two or three
years older than she. They were both walking
one morning on the road to the church, and the
lad carried a small basket and some books, and
Anna cried, and said she did not like to go to
school. I thought it a pity that my little girl
should be made to cry, with her kind, loving
eyes generally so merry, so I slunk after them
I felt that I could not leave her to her tears,
and only followed her as a dog follows those
children he loves. However, her brother
chanced to look back, and cried out: ’ Run for
your life, Anna! A bear is coming behind !’
And he flung books and basket down on the
narrow path, and jumped over a wooden railing
that ran along the road.
"’ ’Tis only Nahley,’ said little Anna, and
picked up the basket, but let the books lie.
’ Come, Nahley, would you like something to
eat ?’ she asked, and gave me a large piece of
bread-and-butter."
