33 38 FABLED STORIES FROM THE ZOO.
" Could you manage to eat bread-and-butter
then, Bruin ? " said the Russian.
" Certainly, and I did, otherwise Anna would
have been sorry, and might have been
frightened of me. It was the very best way
of making friends."
" Stupid Bruin! Why didn’t you make a
sandwich of it, and put the girl between the
slices of bread-and-butter ? " said the American
jester.
" Because I was not a cannibal from the
Sandwich Islands," answered Nahley to humour
the irrepressible Yankee bear. "Well, Anna
did not go to school that day, but returned
home, accompanied by me, whom she thought
she enticed by gradually giving me all the
contents of the basket."
" Artful minx !" growled the American
bear.
" The mother was alone at home, and was
very frightened, and cried, and nearly fainted
when she saw me by the side of her little girl;
but Anna only laughed, and patted me on the
back, and ran into the cot, bringing some
milk in the same bowl as that out of which I
had had the porridge on Christmas-eve."
