The people stood in a crowd outside the bakery. The boy who should have been in the shop, but who had run out, cried:
“Let me get in there! Let me in! I must drive out that bear and monkey, or the baker will say it is my fault for letting them in!”
“You’d better not go in,” said a man. “The monkey would not hurt you, but the bear might. Call the bear’s keepers.”
“Yes, that’s the best thing to do,” said a woman.
But before the boy could do this [Jacko and Dido were eating more cakes from the windows]. Then they found some pies, and they liked those so much they ate three, Dido taking two because he was largest, and needed more.
“What are all the people watching us for?” asked Jacko, as he looked to see what next he would take.
“Oh, I guess they think we are doing tricks,” said Dido. “But we are only eating because we are hungry.”
“And when our masters get through talking they will pay for what we have had,” said Jacko.
Just then the baker, who had been down in the cellar of his shop, making bread and cake, came up into the store, thinking, of course, that the boy he had left in charge, to wait on customers, would be there. Instead of that the baker saw the bear and monkey eating things from his show window.
