“I must get these leaves swept away before the North wind blows,” thought Mother Bear. “When the North wind blows, bears get sleepy.”
Not so for baby bears! “The North wind won’t catch me!” squealed Baby Bear.
Mother paused for a moment and smiled, as she remembered her own dance of the autumn leaves. “I hope it never does Baby Bear, I hope it never does!”
