Baby Bear's Choice
The three bears had been having some trouble recently and had
ended up in family court. Momma and Poppa bear were splitting up,
and baby bear had to decide who he was going to live with.
So, the judge wanted to talk to baby bear to see what he
thought about living with either of his parents. When he asked
baby bear about living with his father, baby bear said: "No,
I can't live with Poppa bear, he beats me terribly."
"OK," said the judge, "then you want to live
with your mother, right?"
"No way!" replied baby bear, "She beats me
worse than Poppa bear does."
The judge was a bit confused by this, and didn't quite know
what to do.
"Well, you have to live with someone, so is there any
relative you would like to stay with?" asked the judge.
"Yes," answered baby bear, "my aunt Bertha bear
who lives in Chicago."
You're sure she will treat you well and won't beat you?"
asked the judge.
"Oh definitely," said baby bear, "the Chicago
Bears don't beat anybody."
