A Letter

One day, when Little Bear was setting off

to go fishing in the river again, Little

Tiger said:

»Bear, I feel so lonely when you’re away.

I wish you’d write a letter home, to cheer

me up. Please do!«

»All right,« said Little Bear,

and he took a bottle of blue ink with him.

He also took a canary’s feather, because

you can write very well with a canary

quill pen.

He took some notepaper too, and an envelope

for his letter.

When he was down by the riverside, first he

put a worm on his hook, and then he put

the hook and line in the water, and then he

picked up the quill pen and wrote a letter

on the notepaper, in blue ink.

It said:

»Dear Tiger,

This is to let you know that I am very well.

How are you?

Please peel the onions and boil the potatoes

while I’m out.»

I may bring home a fish for supper. With

love and kisses from Little Bear.«

Then he put the letter in the envelope and

stuck it together. He caught two fish: one

to eat, and one to be put back in the water

to cheer it up, because everyone likes to

feel cheerful.

When evening came he picked up his fish

and his bucket, his ink and his quill pen,

and the letter too, and he started for home.

Wait a minute, Little Bear!

You nearly forgot your fishing rod!
