Summer Days

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, 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!

It is hot outside. Really hot. James says it's hotter than h-e-double-hockey-stix. I know what that means. It's hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. I don't want to eat eggs off the sidewalk, do you?  The thermometer says it's 33C. That's hot and it's not even summer, yet.

Chance and me are staying nice and cool on the grass. It's hot everywhere, even on top of the rock. We call it Mount Windsor when we play King of the Hill. That's a fun game but it's too hot to play it. James says after lunch we can play in the fountain. We're gonna get all wet and play in the fountain! I love to get wet and play, don't you? We can chase each other and squirt water on each other, too. 

Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? 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 James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed.

This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens. Mind your Ps and Qs. That means be on your best behaviour. Then you can eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can play in the water together. Over and out!"
