The Obliging Bear
A HONEY-LOVING grizzly-bear,
In a great bee-tree made his lair;
“There is a law,” he told the bees,
“That honey sha’n't be kept in trees.“I’ll take it out for you,” said he.
“Nay, nay, sir,” cries the old queen bee,
“Take yourself off!” and then and there
The stinging bees fell on the bear.
Peter Newell from Harper’s Round Table, vol XVI, no. 827, 3 September 1895, 904.
