Rh But no one she saw, so she got into bed— It was surly old Bruin's, and well stuffed with lead. Mammy Muffs next she tried; it was stuffed with round stones, So she got into Tiny-cub's and rested her bones. Goldenhair was asleep when the three bears came in. Said Big Bruin, "I'm hungry to eat, let's begin— "?" he roared with such might; His voice was like wind down the chimney at night. "?" growled out Mrs. B——; Her voice was like cats fighting up in a tree. "?'" [sic] Young Tiny-cub said, in a voice very small, "?" In voice like a thunder-storm, roared the big bear "? Growled out Mammy Muff, like a sow in despair. "?" Young Tiny-cub said, and so fierce was his frown, That his mother with pride to his father said, "There! See our pet Tiny-cub can look just like a bear," So roaring, and growling, and frowning, the bears. One after the other, came running up-stairs. "?" old Bruin roared out, In a voice just like rain down a large water-spout. "?" growled out Mammy Muff, In a voice like her husband's, but not quite so rough.
