INTERRUPTED BREAKFAST

THE THREE BEARS WERE ABOUT TO

ENJOY BREAKFAST TOGETHER AS USUAL

WHEN THEY WERE INTERRUPTED

BY A TERRIBLE ROAARR OUTSIDE

THEIR HUMBLE COTTAGE.

IMMEDIATELY,

THE DOOR CAME CRASHING IN

AND THIS HUGE UGLY,

FIERCE LOOKING BEAR

STOOD IN THEIR MIDST! 

WITHOUT HESITATION,

THE MONSTER SLURPED UP

PAPA BEAR'S PORRIDGE,

THEN MAMA BEAR'S,

FINALLY LICKING EVERY MORSEL

FROM BABY BEAR'S LITTLE BOWL. 

SUDDENLY,

THE INTRUDER PRODUCED A PISTOL

AND FIRED SEVERAL SHOTS

THROUGH THE COTTAGE ROOF!

WHERE UPON THE FURRY ANIMAL

WALKED CALMLY OUT THE OPEN DOOR

AND DISAPPEARED INTO THE FOREST. 

WHAT WAS THAT?

EXCLAIMED PAPA BEAR. 

I HAVE NO IDEA!

SAID MAMA BEAR. 

I THINK IT WAS A KOALA BEAR

SAID BABY BEAR. 

OH, NO, SON, INSISTED

MAMA AND PAPA BEAR.

THAT WAS TOO BIG AND FIERCE

FOR A KOALA BEAR.

I'M PRETTY SURE IT WAS

A KOALA BEAR,

SAID BABY BEAR,

WALKING OVER TO THE FAMILY LIBRARY

AND PULLING DOWN THE BEAR HISTORY BOOK. 

SURE ENOUGH!

UNDER THE HEADING,

KOALA BEAR IT READ.

EATS, SHOOTS, AND LEAVES.
