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?”
