The Bear Among The Bees
THE beasts elected the Bear, one spring, Inspector of the Beehives. They might, it is true, have chosen a more trustworthy animal, seeing that the Bear is passionately fond of honey. The matter was one to be regretted ; but who can expect wisdom from beasts ? Every other solicitor for the post of Hive Inspector they sent away with a refusal, and finally, as if by way of pleasantry, the Bear made his appearance in that capacity. But harm soon came of the appointment for our Bear carried off all the honey into his den. The theft Avas found out, an alarm was sounded, and legal proceedings were taken in due form. Eventually, the Bear wаs dismissed from his office, and the old rogue was sentenced to lie in his den all the winter.
The Court decided, ratified, and countersigned ; but, in spite of all this, it did not return the honey. As for Mishka, he didn’t pay the slightest attention to the affair. Bidding the world farewell for a season, he betook himself to his warm den. There he sucks his honeyed paw, and waits till fair weather invites him to a fresh cruise.
