THE BROWN BEAR.
On entering the narrow passage where the
bears’ dens are arrayed in one long row, and
seeing all these almost humorous and
good-natured fellows stretching forth their paws as
if to shake hands,—which I felt very much
inclined to do, but wisely abstained,—I felt as
if I had met old friends, for the brown bears
have always been my special favourites. I like
them for their very clumsiness. They put one
in mind of shaggy young puppies, of which I
am sure you, my young friends, as well as
myself, are foolishly fond; and then there is
a comic twinkle in the bear’s eye, which makes
one fancy that Bruin would be a good-humoured
companion, and such no doubt he is, or he
would not submit to dance at fairs and shows.
