"Can't you see that there's a movement in the shadows about a hundred feet, to the north?" asked Tommy. "I see something moving but I can't tell what it is." "It's a bear!" shouted Tommy, taking no pain now to control his voice. "Yes," exclaimed Sandy, "and it's two bears, if anybody should ask you, and they're coming this way!" "Then we'd better get back a little ways," advised Tommy.
"But you wouldn't stay up there in that solitude with no person around but an old grouch that probably would not have a word to say for days at a time?" "Yes I think I would," said Davy slowly but firmly. "I think I can risk my case as to care and friendship with a man who is considerate to little bears."
