Daddy tried to think over the Juvenile stories that he had written and had had published He couldn’t place an elephant story that had anything to do with three bears “No it wasn't in the Daddy book” George Henry suddenly remembered “you just told It to us ’’ The easiest thing to do Daddy decided was to make up a story then rush the children off to bed “During the day” he continued “the sun shone bright on the cabin and kept the three bears warm” “What was the bears’ names?” Barbara wanted to know There could be no question about the names Whether it was bears pigs ducks or rabbits the names

embraced them “Once upon a time there was three bears” Barbara prompted What could Daddy do’ He ahrugged his shoulders hopelessly “The three bears lived in a cabin at the edge of a woods ” Goldilocks” George Henry us about the three bears and an elephant ” "An elephant’” Daddy didn’t feel like plotting a new story “It will have to be Goldilocks” he said Barbara clapped her little chubshe cried by

each gathered an arm load of wood while the elephant took a big load In his trunk and they all went back to the cabin ” Barbara “Is that all Daddy?” wanted to know “Not quite The elephant was so big that it couldn't go through the door of the cabin and when night came it had to stay out in the cold while the bears kept warm near the fire” HENRY could hardly eyes open but he said “Let the good elephant go inside fire near the Daddy" for a moment thought Daddy How could he get the elephant side’ Suddenly he knew how “The following morning the bears were so sorry for the elephant that they got out all their carpenter tools and busily went to work” “Did they build another cabin?” Barbara asked this although Dadshe was asleep dy thought "No they Just made a bigger doorway — and the three
