Bobby, meanwhile, was so glad to be going for a walk with his father, that he was skipping merrily about, just like a little dog.
"You seem glad this morning," said Father Bear. Then, with a glance at Mother Bear, who was standing by smiling he added: "Perhaps it is because you're all through with your house work, eh?"
At this, Bobby Bear grew red in the face, for after all just washing dishes wasn't much help to his mother with the housework.
He asked timidly, "Mother, perhaps before I go, I should help you some more."
At this, both Father Bear and Mother Bear smiled. "Oh no, my boy," said his mother kindly. "You have helped me quite a lot as it is and I am very willing to have my little Bobby Bear run off now and enjoy himself."
THEY VISIT THE FARMER'S CORNFIELD
"Where are you going to get the corn?" asked Bobby Bear, as he trotted along beside his father that bright, sunny morning.
"Why," Father Bear replied, "we have been invited by Farmer Jenkins to go and take as much as we like."
"He must be a kind man," answered Bobby.
