A small brown bear and a small black bear walked up to each other and rubbed noses.
“Will you play with me if I play with you?” whispered the brown one to the other. And the other whispered, “I will.”
The two trotted out to the center of the cage. The brown one turned a somersault and the black one turned a bigger somersault. After this they both turned somersaults together.
When the play was over, they rubbed noses again and each went back to his own cave in the rocks.
HOW THE GROCER PLAYED A TRICK ON KIT
Kit was the grocer’s horse. One day as the grocer came up to her she whinnied and rubbed her nose against his pocket.
“Ha, ha, ha, I’ve caught you this time; it isn’t in my pocket,” said the grocer; “here it is.” He held out to her a ripe red apple he had been hiding behind his back.
Kit didn’t wait to laugh at the joke; she ate the apple in one big bite.
