One pleasant summer morning a wolf met a bear in a lonely wood. In a tree near by, a bird was singing.
"Brother," said the bear, "that is very good singing, indeed. What kind of bird do you think it is?"
"That is a tomtit," said the wolf.
"I should like to see his nest. Where do you think it is?" asked the bear.
"Perhaps we shall see if we wait until his mate comes home," said the wolf.
