Riding on a Buffalo Fire Truck

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road. That's by Sandwich Street in Windsor. I know where Windsor is. It's in O Canada. I live 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. He's so newborn he doesn't have any teeth. He doesn't even have a tail, yet. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful!

Know what? Chance and me are riding on a Buffalo Fire Truck. Grandpa James says it's a triple combo pumper. The fire truck is red. It has a siren and a bell. Fire trucks go very fast. That's because they have to take the firefighters to the fire and put it out.

Firefighters have very important jobs. They keep everyone safe from fires. They help when there is an emergency, too.  Bear cubs can be firefighters, you know. I would be a very good firefighter. I would make the siren sound and ring the bell. I could drive the firetruck. I could holler, "Look out, good citizens! Firetruck coming through!" I could wear a fire helmet and put out fires with a great big hose. Chance is a wee little thing but he could help, 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 Grandpa 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 play firefighter and ride on the big red firetruck together! Okay! Over and out!"
