"Well, I never," he said, "never in all my life, saw anything like it!"
And Mr. 'Coon and Mr. 'Possum both said:
"He can't do it—a breakfast like that is too much for any bear!"
Then Mr. Crow said:
"He oughtn't to be allowed to do it. Mr. Bear is too nice a man to lose."
And Mr. 'Possum said:
"He mustn't be allowed to do it—we'll help him."
"Where do you suppose he begins? said Mr. 'Coon.
"At the top, very likely," said Mr. Crow. "He's got it arranged in courses."
"I don't care where he begins," said Mr. 'Possum; "I'm going to begin somewhere, now, and I think I will begin on a meat-pie."
