Revolving Doors

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy,  Grandpa James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know.

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. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful!

Know what? Chance and me are playing a new game. It's called Revolving Door. The big glass door goes 'round and 'round and 'round in a circle. I can make the door go fast or slow. I make siren noises and I chase Chance. I holler, "I'm a gonna get you!" Chance can't talk but he makes little squeaky noises. That means he's happy and having fun.  I let him ride on my head so he's really, really tall!

Doors are important.  Doors let people come in and they let people come out. I know a riddle. Ready? When is a door not a door? Here's the answer: when it's ajar. Ajar means open. It's a pun 'cuz a jar sounds like ajar.

It's polite to open doors for people who have their hands full, you know. Grandpa James says that good manners and good behaviour are earmarks of good citizens. I want to be a good citizen but I don't know if I want my ears marked. I like have my ears tickled though, don't you?

This revolving door is at First Canadian Place. It's the tallest skyscraper in Canada. It's on the corner Bay Street and King Street in Toronto. It's the home of the Bank of Montreal. The front door lets people come in and out all day long. The building is 298 metres tall. That's way taller than me and Chance!

Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? Grandpa James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario?

That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario!

We gotta go find Grandpa James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed. This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens.  Then you can eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can play Revolving Door! Okay! Over and out!"
