Eating Lasagna at the Countryside Diner

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 was homeless and hungry. I think the angels found him and brought him to our house 'cuz I asked God for a baby brother. He's a wee little thing. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful!

Know what? We're at the Countryside Diner. It's a restaurant. It's a really good place to eat 'cuz the food is yummy. I l-ov-e to eat good food, don't you?  The Countryside Diner is on Highway 11.

Patty Robinson is the boss and the chef, too. She makes the very bestest lasagna. I could eat lasagna every day and I could eat it all day long! James says that I should eat like a pig. I'm not a pig! I'm a bear cub. Sometimes James says silly things.



Chance is so newborn he just drinks chocolate owls' milk but the pictures on the menu look so good that Chance tried to lick the pages! We order chocolate owls' milk with two straws so I can help Chance to drink up all his milk.

One day Chance will have teeth and I will share my Smarties with him and we'll make peanut butter and licorice sandwiches and then we will eat them on a picnic when we go on a lion hunt in the back yard.

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. Be kind to friends and neighbours. Then you can eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can go to the Countryside Diner and eat lasagna! Okay! Over and out!"
