the rocks.

But when the Great White Bear came home he smelled the Little Gray
Mouse and roared: "Some mouse is hiding in my cave! I smell a
mouse!" Then the Great White Bear listened to hear what the mouse
had to say, but the Little Gray Mouse was very much frightened, and
was trembling all over and did not say a word.

The Great White Bear was very tired, so he thought that he would
not catch the Little Gray Mouse until morning, so he crawled into
his nest and went to sleep.

When the Great White Bear was sound asleep and snoring, the Little
Gray Mouse came from the corner of the rocks and tangled the Great
White Bear's tail fur into little hard knots.

The next morning when the Great White Bear awoke he found that the
Little Gray Mouse had tangled his tail fur into little hard knots,

King Robin, where I can find the Little Gray Mouse?"

"I do not know where the Little Gray Mouse may be!" said King
Robin. "He is hiding in the woods!"

Then the Great White Bear sat down and thought, and thought, and
thought, and at last he said: "I am going to find the Little Gray
Mouse if I have to freeze the woods! You have always been a good
friend of mine, King Robin, and I dislike to put you to any
trouble, but if I were you I would take my family and go across the
lakes and over the mountains and along the river to the great bay!"

King Robin thought that the Great White Bear was joking, but the
Great White Bear stood in the door of his
