My Birthday and Canada's Birthday, Too!

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road 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. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful!

 Oh. Wait! Frankie lives with us, too. He's our cousin. Frankie is four. He goes to the Scruffy Maple Day Care Centre with me.

Canada Day is July 1st. That's my birthday too, you know. I'm five. Canada is 146 years old. That's a lot older than me, but not as old as Grandpa James.

One of my birthday presents was a Fisher-Price kitchen. We can play restaurant!

On my birthday I get to eat Canada Day cupcakes. Cupcakes are yummy. Yummy is one of the four food groups in Canada's Food Guide. Know what? I used to say cubcake 'cuz I didn't know my ears needed helpers. Now I have a hearing aid and I can hear everything!

 I got another present, too. I got 101 Dalmatians. It's a story about newborn puppies. I love puppies. Puppies make good friends.

 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!

Grandpa James is hollering, "Where is my handsome Frankie? Where's my Knight of Knewfoundland and my Lord of Labrador? Frankie is handsome. He's our Knight of Knewfoundland and our Lord of Labrador!

 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 Canada Day cupcakes and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can celebrate together! Okay! Over and out!"
