"You can never tell when you may be lost around the North Pole."
So they went ashore and, after Jackie had taken his bearings with his compass to see which way to go, they set out to walk to the North Pole.
And after they had walked for hours and hours, they saw a little bear, which is called a cub.
"I wonder if he is a tame bear," said Sweetclover.
And Kernel Cob went up to him as brave as you please and put out his hand to the bear and said:
"Hello, Teddy!" but the bear growled and showed his teeth.
"Don't start anything like that," said Kernel Cob, "unless you want to get hurt."
"Well, don't you call me names," said the Cub.
"Who's calling you names?" asked Kernel Cob.
"You are," said the Cub.
