Presently the cubs came out, too, still blinking with sleep. "Oh, Mother!" cried Dumpy, "just look at Sprawley's back!" "Why, what's the matter with it?" asked the Mother Bear. "There ain't anything the matter with it," growled Sprawley, twisting his head round and trying to see. "Yes, there is too!" cried Fatty. "Oh my! Sprawley's splitting hisself all down the back."
Out shuffled Mother Bear in a hurry. "You naughty cub," she cried, aiming a blow at Sprawley's ear. But quick as a wink Sprawley slipped behind Dumpy, and it was upon Dumpy that the blow fell. And now Dumpy joined in with his sister. "Ou-u-u!" he cried. "There, there!" cried the poor Mother Bear, "don't you cry any more and I'll give you each an extra piece of meat."
"Why! why!" cried the Father Bear, "what's this?" He shuffled over and looked at Sprawley's back, and then without a word he began to tear and pull at the bear-skin. In another minute he had it off, and there stood the merman shivering and blinking at them with his mouth open like a gasping fish. "Oh dear! oh dear!" cried the Mother Bear, turning whiter than ever.
