Our Fountain

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! 

Know what? Chance and me are playing at our fountain. The fountain is right in front of Canada Post. That's by our house on the corner of Mill Street and Sandwich Street.  We love to play in the water and get all wet. That's a good thing to do on a hot summer day. James says it's 31C outside. That's hot enough to melt chocolate bars. When it's that hot, it's time to climb into the fountain and cool off.

Sometimes we play with our space ray guns that we got at the Mill Dollar Store. We use them mostly to hunt lions in the back yard but sometimes we fill them up with water and squirt each other with them. Chance isn't a very good squirter but he's just a newborn cubby. He thinks he's invisible when he closes his eyes!

We're not supposed to squirt people who are walking by the fountain. Good citizens don't do that. Good citizens are polite. Best of all, good citizens get to eat gummy worms in their porridge and they get to eat Smarties and drink root beer, too. I l-o-v-e Smarties and root beer. They're yummy and Yummy is one of the four food groups in the Canada Food Guide.

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. Don't squirt people with your space ray gun. Be polite. Then you can eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can splash in the fountain together! Okay! Over and out!"
