"Father will see you well on your way, and your parents must be longing to hear of you. Come into the house now, and I will make you look respectable." Knut and Otto were all obedience, and followed the Badger-mother meekly to the kitchen. Here she took down two large scrubbing-brushes, and proceeded to give them a thorough tidying.
However, no one could be miserable for long at a time in the Badger family; they were all so happy and light-hearted so after a good dinner, the two little Bears ran out into the garden, and forgot their troubles in a romp with the children. "You did not know your old schoolmaster was a cousin of ours?" remarked the Badger-mother, as they rested, later on, under a shady fir tree.
Before the door sat the Badger-mother with some plain sewing, while five of the young Badger-children played about on the grass in front of her. "You're home early to-day, father," she said cheerfully, and added, as she caught sight of the little Bears "Why, wherever did you pick up these strangers, father?"
The Badger described the unpleasant position in which he had found them; and the whole family gathering round, Knut related their adventures truthfully from the very beginning. "I'll tell you where the Fox was taking you, my children," said the Badger-mother; "There's a Wild Beast Show in the town at this present moment, and Herr Kreutzen has already enticed two or three animals into it.
"Sit down, sit down, cousin," said the Badger-mother hospitably. "Bring in the pupils, and let them dry their hair before the fire they seem in a sad state, poor things!" "They certainly do look a little untidy," said the Badger, "but we shall soon remedy all that. What do you say to that, children?"
"He really is a worthy creature at heart, and you ought all to try and put up with him as much as possible." "We really will," cried the two little Bears heartily. "If ever we get back again, we really will!" and they thoroughly intended to keep their promises. "I think this evening you should start for home before it grows dusk," said the Badger-mother.
