One of the brown bears was very nosy and selfish, but his brother and the black bear wci.e unselfisti. and kind. One day Bruin bear found a pond of sticky white Bubstance, so being nosy plunged in; but after, to his dismay, he could not get the sticky stuff off. The Queen was very angry "whea she heard that her flower paint had been used up, so she sent Bruin to the Polar Regions in Mortal-land. This she said would be just right for him, because the snow was white and he was white. The other two boars,. however, lived in whichever part of Mor-tal-land they chose. This is 'the reason why polar bears arc white and 'live in the Polar Regions." "Thank you, Lady Spring, for your story," said the Fairy Ring gratefully.
