d, "Let me go, please, I'll soon run down stairs."
But big Bruin was angry, and shouted out, "No!
You had no right to come hither, and now you shan't go.
What we mean to do with you, ere long you shall find;
You can lie there and cry till I make up my mind."
To Mammy and Tiny then did big Bruin roar,
"Go and block up the chimney and nail up the door;
This Goldenhair now has got into a scrape,
And if I can help it, she shall not escape."
But Goldenhair saw that a window was there,
(It was always kept open to let in fresh air),
So she jumped out of bed--to the window she ran,
Saying "Three bears, good-bye! Catch me now if you can!"
To the window the bears ran as fast as they could,
But Goldenhair flew like the wind through the wood.
She said the bears' breath had filled her with steam,
But when she grew older she said 'twas a dream,
And no doubt she was right to take such a view;
Still, some part of the story is certainly true,
For unto this day there is no one who dares,
To say that there never existed THREE BEARS.
