friend had forgotten. | Then the friend of Pipe Lighter became hungry. At once | he remembered what he had been told. They were going along, and | the friend of Pipe Lighter thought: "Well, let me try!" There was a tree, | and there was a burl on it. Pipe Lighter was addressed: || "Pipe Lighter!" He said: "What is it?" He was told: 65 "A bear." | He said: '"Where is it?" He was told: "Farther on, on a tree." | They said to one another: "Hold on!" They whispered, | because the bear was wild.
