Excerpt: ... run down his back so fast he couldn't even give one grunt. You should have seen that little bear! He was oil from head to foot! And as for his 66 fine, silky, glossy, black coat, he was just sure it was ruined! He didn't stop a minute to see if Little White Bear was out of Omnok's house, but ran home as fast as ever he could. "Why! Why!" cried his mother, as he came into the house. "Where have you been?" Little Black Bear couldn't say a word. He just crawled over in one corner and looked down at his toes. And was his coat really ruined? Ask puss if her coat is ruined some day when she comes in out of the rain, and see what she will say.

Little White Bear had just started to leap over one fine, large boulder, and Little 68 Black Bear was coming right after him, when all of a sudden Little White Bear turned a backward somersault and tumbled right into Little Black Bear. "Wow!" howled Little Black Bear. "What's the matter?" "Shish!" whispered Little White Bear. "I saw something!" "On the ice?" asked Little Black Bear, beginning to be frightened. "Right out there a little bit farther," whispered Little White Bear. "And it was the biggest thing! Oh! My! I can't tell how big it was!" Then Little Black Bear was frightened!
