Rock Stars at Children's Fest

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. He climbs way high on things and then he can't get down. I say, "My son! Come down from there this instant!" Chance can't get down, so I help him. He's so newborn he doesn't even have any teeth. Chance drinks chocolate owls' milk from a bottle. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful!


Know what? We got tambourines. One for me and one for Chance. Tambourines make noise. I love to make noise, don't you? We use them when we sing. Chance and me know lots of songs. We know Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and the Prune Song and Farmer Brown and All Around the Circle and lots and lots of songs. We're pretty good singers. Well, Chance is too little to sing but he makes squeaky noises 'cuz he's happy.  We practise 'cuz we're gonna sing for boys and girls at Children's Fest at the Safety Village. That's in September, you know.

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 sing songs together! Okay! Over and out!"
