L e ey T - DT IMAL FABLIES Find the Grasshopper and Some Animals From the Land Which the Bear Saw in His Vision---Twelve in All. NCE upon a time there was a Bear who was forever poking his nose into obscure places, apparently in search of something. Just what he was after no one could tell ti poked phil nose into the mouth of an Alligator, whereupon the Alligator immediately closed his jaws upon the Bear’s head, and would not release him until he made the lollllo:i:.z :::fel: sion: “Oh! most noble and kind sir, it is very distressing to lay bare the secret of my life in this painful manner, but as there seems to be no help for it, I will proceed at once. As you will perceive by my color, I am what is known as a Cinnamon Bear, and, whether justly or otherwise, you will be able to judge better later on. Now, it so happened when I was a cub that one day my parents left me alone while they went in search of food, and as they never returned I now take it for granted that instead of obtaining what they sought they became food for somebody else. Many, many weary days I spent in vain search for them. I became thin and careworn, and out of sympathy for me I was one day seized by my friends and made prisoner, lest I should lose my life in the fruitless search for my father and mother. By some oversight I was soon forgotten by my friends and left to die in solitary confinemerit. Hunger began to gnaw at my vitals, and in a little while I fell exhausted. I became delirious, and imagined that I was beset by a great multitude of wild beasts from a strange land of a kind which Y and on seeing my helpless condition they were about to devour me. Then there came a Grasshopper, who offered to provide me with a light lunch, that I might strengthen myself. On accepting his apparently kind offer I was soon provided with a bounn(ul. repast, which I learned afterward was composed of glowworms. Being thus strengthened, I was about to escape from my torment- ors when, lo! I discovered that I had changed into a snow-white bear. The light of the glowworms which I had eaten shone through and made my body as light as day. From that time forth life was a burden to me, for everywhere I went I was taken for a ghost, and so driven from place to place. I found no rest till at last I reached the solitude of the frozen North, and there, in the midst of ice and snow, I passed my days. I found shelter and plenty of food in an old wreck which had been abandoned by some exploring party. One day, to my surprise, I discovered that I was gradually assuming a different color. I immediately investigated the matter, and found by examining the Iabels of the boxes that I had been living on cinnamon cake. In a little while I made such 2 presentable appearance that I was able to return to my home and friends, syd here I am.” “Yes,” remarked the Alligator, “but why do you go about continually poking your nose into obscure corners and places?” “Oh!” replied the Cinnamon Bear, “that’s easy; I'm looking for the Grasshopper who filled me up with glowworms, so that I can eat him.” The moral of this fable is: “We are angry with those who trick us, because they seem to have more wit than ourselves.” | ’Don't Miss This.
