1st.The Bear.
Alaska had a little sheep,
Which wandered to and fro;
And everywhere the hunters went,
That bear was sure to go--
The day preceding them, to stamp
Its foot-prints in the snow.
There also was a little bear,
Essential to the tale;
And everywhere the bear would go,
Foot-prints would never fail;
And when the eager hunters came
To follow up its track,
The bear withdrew into the brush,
And never answered back;
And when the eager hunters came
To follow up its track,
The bear withdrew into the brush,
And never answered back;
And when Miss Adams questions them,
As to the reason why--
"Because the beasts love hunting so",
Her patients all reply.
