“How Bear Lost His Tail”
This is a long time ago tail
about how Bear lost his tail.
At first Bear’s tail was long
then Fox did something wrong.
Fox is known to be sly
so he told Bear a lie.
Fox fished with a pole
through the ice hole.
Fox caught lots of fish
and he made Bear wish.
Fox did not want to share
so he played a trick on Bear.
The water was very cold
but Bear did what he was told.
Fox told Bear to fish with his tail
an’ he’ll catch fish as big as a whale.
Bear pretend to be like Otter
An’ he stuck his tail in the icy water.
Bear’s tail was long and furry
but the icy water made him worry.
Soon Bear started to shiver
an’ his tail froze off in the icy river.
Bear let out a loud snort
’cause his tail was now short.
Fox made Bear look foolish
’cause he never caught no fish.
The Bear just went in his den
and Fox was always his bad friend.
