This morning when I went out with the bucket full of laundry, bear wanted to come along and help...
Martinke_H:
Bear sat on top of the bucket waiting for me, with a naughty look in his eyes...
Martinke_H:
Bear seemed to enjoy and held the ropes tight.
Martinke_H:
Under the clothesline, bear considered the hight...
Martinke_H:
Ohw, bear, that's high. Specially for little bears. These lines are made for adults.
Martinke_H:
Bear sat for a while, thinking and asked me for the stool.
Martinke_H:
Oh bear! You are the cleverest bear in the world! Be careful!
Martinke_H:
Bear handled trousers, leggings and underpants as a professional, who had done that his whole life.
Martinke_H:
I must say I was impressed by bear's adroitness! Amazing!
Martinke_H:
I told bear I apreciated, and bear answered: "gmlbp", because of the pin in his mouth!
Martinke_H:
And bear went on pinning, and pinning...
Martinke_H:
And pinning... When at once, his eyes caught the Mimosa flowers above his head...
Martinke_H:
"Oh", bear exclaimed, "flowers in midwinter! And bees are gathering honey! I want to climb the tree !!!"
Martinke_H:
Then Bear discovered an other lower Mimosa tree at the other side of the garden....
Martinke_H:
In one second bear forgot the laundry hanging and disappeared....
Martinke_H:
I found bear back on the foot of the Mimosa tree, ready to climb.
Martinke_H:
Bear was overwhelmed, by so many flowers, perfume and yellow velvet...
Martinke_H:
"Hey, bees!" Bear screamed, "you can get tons of honey over here! Look!!! Where are you? "
Martinke_H:
And bear climbed higher and higher, to the sound of the bees...
Martinke_H:
So high as he climbed, poor bear didn't find the sweet Mimosa honey he wanted so bad...
Martinke_H:
The rest of that afternoon bear sat alone and silent in the grass. Looking at the Mimosa flowers. Dreaming of the honey they could give...
Martinke_H:
Bear looked tired, so I took him in the bucket to carry him inside when Pilou came along and greeted him.
Martinke_H:
"Don't be sad about the honey", Pilou said. "You know that I love you bear! We all do."
Martinke_H:
I love you too! Bear said, but you know, some times I love honey a little more. I'm just a bear!
