Cirque du Soleil

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy,  James. He is old and forgetful.  He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark. He says he's older than French fries. He must really old! I'll be he's 20! I have to look after him. Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing.

Look at us! We're playing Cirque du Soleil. I can balance Chance on my feet. I holler, "Cirque du Soleil!" and he jumps way high up in the air. I catch him so he doesn't get hurt. He knows I will catch him every time. Chance makes squeaky noises when he jumps. That means he's happy. He makes little squawky noises when he's hungry and when he has poo in his diaper. I don't wear a diaper. I get to run around bear naked. That is a pun, you know. I'm five, James says I'm a big cub, now. Know what? I'll be six on Canada Day. That's older than five. I get chocolate birthday cake and fireworks on my birthday. I sure wish I could eat fireworks. They would taste yummy and yummy is one of the four food groups in the Canada Food Guide. Watch! Chance is going to jump again. I hope you can come over to our house and play Cirque du Soleil with us.

Oh! Did you hear that?  James is hollering, "Where's my handsome bear cubs? Come here my Sons of Windsor! Come here Princes of Ontario!" That's us! Charles and Chance! We're gonna run find James so he can kiss our noses and tickle our ears and make us laugh right out loud. We got pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. Chance doesn't eat pancakes cuz he doesn't have any teeth. He gets condensed owls' milk in his bottle. I'm too big for a bottle. I'm five. I have a sippy cup with Spiderman on it. Okay. We gotta go. This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Play Cirque du Soleil! Be good citizens! Over and out!"
