“That’s what I said. I can tell you that bear was a lively one. Me father was along, but he wasn’t as close to that bear as I was.”
“Well, what did you do to him?” asked Link, impatiently.
“Do? Didn’t do nuthin’.”
“You didn’t! What did the bear do?”
“Rolled over on his head, and walked off.”
“Teddy, are you going crazy? A bear wouldn’t do that.”
“He did, I tell you.”
“He couldn’t have been very savage.”
“I don’t know about that. He had a leather muzzle on, and a chain around his neck.”
“A tame bear!” screamed Harry, and began to laugh. “Oh, that’s the best yet. Link, I guess you are sold.”
