Yes. He was picking blackberries and got a big thorn stuck in his poor paw. We need to get Steve to pick it out.
We may have to wait til the bears asleep ..you think? anyway we know he can't bite us with no teeth but he does have big long claws. maybe you and I could give the bear a manicure and do some trimming while Steve yanks out that thorn..?
Well, there is NO way one can come close enough to the poor bear with a thorn in his paw, so I suggest we shoot it and we now have a toothless, thorned dead bear that we will...................................
But didn't you ever read the story about the lion and the mouse? If we get the thorn out, the bear might someday rescue us from some horrible predicament. Heck, a tree might fall across our legs and the bear might move the tree so we could get out. So get busy.......
Atta girl, Shirley. Crack that whip!... typical man. trying to wiggle his way out of doing a minor, but very DANGEROUS work !.....
OK.. I will tranquilize the bear and operate on him.. Meanwhile that annoying Moose is still hanging around looking for some food which we don't have, but along comes the "Welcome Wagon" with food to greet some newcomers.. They suggest we ............................
"We make friends with the Moose also".. Hey a great idea!.....We could use that moose to help haul the toothless, thorned dead bear !
Hey, now! We ain't gonna kill no bear! At least, not that one. He's gonna become our pet and save us from a fate worse than death. But rumor has it that a viscous bear killed someone's dog in a nearby town. There is a reward of $1,000,000 to whoever kills him. We's goin' b'ar huntin'!
But Shirley we already got a dead b'ar.. Steve went and kilt the dear thing..we could say we got the b'ar and now we just want that $1,000,000.. how we gonna split that money we gots coming to us anyway?? you know Steve will want the most of it cuz he's the fellar that kilt the b'ar in the first place..
Naw... Just give me some meat and I will be happy.. Ain't got no need for those fancy gizmos anyway.. Besides you girls deserve all the credit for getting the job done.. All I did was pull the trigger.. No big deal.. OOps, did you see who is coming ????? Quick, lets hide from .......................
the Game Warden comin' up the river and he don't look too very happy.. what we gonna do now? Quick we better hide.!
Steve is the one holding the bear. You and I just happened along in time to greet the Game Warden. 'Bye, Steve! It's been nice knowing you.
