This was in 1679 The records of his exploration af, firm that the Indians laughed heartity.” The Indians were still telling the story when Chief Seattle arrived at Puget sound and discovered the totem pole That's a good story,” said the founder of this city, “I haven't laughed #o since grandpap told it to me back home in Connecticut.” It is about a man who was chased by a bear The bear chased him around a tree #0 fast no one could tell by looking at them whether the man was chas ing the bear or the bear was chasing the man right The man had laid hold of the bear's tail and couldn't let go, be cause if he did the bear would catch him.

It'a hard to convince a Uttle boy it's foolish to tmagine there could be a bear in the closet when he can say “Yes, there are, and under the bed. too, sometimes, I saw it in the movies.” The only thing for earnest parents to do when a bear is shown in « movie is to clap the little boy's cap over his face.
