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 even have any teeth or a tail! He just drinks chocolate owls' milk from his bottle. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful!
Know what? Chance and me and our cousin Frankie are on Signal Hill. That's in St. John's. St. John's is in Newfoundland and Labrador, too. We all know where Newfoundland is. It's in O Canada. That's the first province on the right. I learn about our country from my teacher at the Scruffy Maple Day Care Centre.
Signal Hill is an important place. Cabot Tower is on top of the hill. It's a really tall fort and a lookout. Know what? Signal Hill and the Cabot Tower would be a great place to play fort. We could get binoculars. We could watch out for pirates and enemy ships and spies and terrorists. Chance can hold the Canada flag and we can holler, "On guard!" and "Ahoy! Keep your enemy ship away from Canadian waters!" Yeah! That would be fun. When we get hungry we could eat Smarties and salted capelin. We could drink pineapple Crush, you know.

Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? Grandpa 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 salted capelin and drink pineapple Crush. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can play on Signal Hill together! Okay! Over and out!"
