The Clever Bear

Average User Rating
Editor's Rating

Once a bear wanted to buy some honey,

But the shopkeeper said, “Only give me money.”

But the teddy bear did not have anything

And he could not even sing.

So he climbed up a tree

And told a bee,

“Sting him and hide behind the tar.

And I shall take a honey jar.”

But suddenly a very big cloud

Made a crackling sound loud

It suddenly began to rain

And the bear thought “I’ll have to break his windowpane.”

But the shopkeeper was still running his shop

And cleaning it with his mop.

So the bee went and stung him and flew away down

And the shopkeeper’s face turned brown.

He yelled, “Who has bitten me?”

If I find him I’ll hit him on his knee.”

But the bear hid behind a car

And took his favourite honey jar.

He gave some to the honey bee

And said, “Because I got it for free.

Who is cleverer than me?”

And drank the remaining honey with glee.
