For a while he was very happy.

Aunt Bear was wrong, he said. "This isn't Christmas.

There is something more, because when boys and girls have it, it's pretty, and it's lots of fun, and it makes you feel good from the inside out.

Then Mother Bear said she would find out what Christmas is.

Off she went down the mountain-side to the little log house, and she listened and looked and sniffed.
