“Come here, little man, and I’ll tell you a story about a bear!” said Mr. Narr, holding out his hands. “I haven’t told a bear story to a little chap like you for many a year.”
“Does you know a story about a bad bear?” demanded Trouble.
“Yes, indeed I do!”
“’Bout a nawful bad bear—a nawful bad bear? A terrible bad bear?” and Trouble opened his eyes wide.
“Yes, about the worst bear in the world.”
“Go on, nen. Tell it, please,” begged the little boy, nestling into the rich man’s arms.
And then every one was happy—but happiest of all were the Curlytops.
