Volume 1 — THEIR LITTLE JAR
Reading edition
1. two bears on mischief bound
2. a big jar of honey found.
3. before they made a better plan
4. both to eat at once began.
5. whitey bumped on bruin’s crown;
6. bruin then pushed whitey down.
7. this to rough and tumble led,
8. till they were heels over head.
9. bruin thought he was in clover;
10. whitey came and turned him over.
11. then did whitey roar with laughter,
12. not aware what’s coming after—
13. the jar is broken on his head;
14. jar and honey both are fled!
15. sad and sorry, very slow,
see the comrades homeward go.
