And everybody clutters in the great bear’s den. Mole mutters, “What a night!” “What a storm!” twitters Wren. Then a wren and raven flutter in through the door! “Let’s divvy them up, Cozy down… and dig in!”Īnd they nibble and they munch with a CHEW- CHOMP- CRUNCH ! but the bear snores on.Ī gopher and a mole tunnel up through the floor. “I’ve brought honey-nuts,” Badger says with a grin. “I smell yummy-yums! Perhaps we can share ? Hare burps big BURPS! But the bear snores on.Ī badger scuttles by, sniff-snuffs at the air. “Ho, Mouse!” says Hare." Long time, no see!“ So they pop white corn. Mouse cries, “Who’s there?” And a hare hops in. The coals pip-pop and the wind doesn’t stop. Mouse squeaks, “Too damp, too dank, too dark."So he lights wee twigs with a small, hot spark. But the bear snores on.Īn itty-bitty mouse, Pitter-pat, tip-toe, Creep-crawls in the cave From the fluff-cold snow. The cold winds howl and the night sounds growl. In a cave in the woods, In his deep, dark lair, Through the long cold winter Sleeps a great brown bear.Ĭuddled in a heap, With his eyes shut tight, He sleeps through the day, He sleeps through the night.
