Old Mother Bear may you have a good time.”

Old Mother Bear was a wonderful knitter, and soon she had another stocking nearly finished. She sang as before:

“Click, click, click, I must hurry because,

Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, comes Santa Claus.”

Then a light foot-fall was heard outside.

On the window-pane she heard such a clatter,

She got right up to see what was the matter!

Old Shaggy Brother, the tramp dog, stood there saying:

“Santa Claus comes as I remember,

May I warm my paws in old December?”
