After lunch they walked round the garden. There was no sign of the bears, till they came to the kitchen-garden. This is just a glimpse of what they saw there. The three bears fast asleep under a large apple-tree. They were snoring and their tummies were frightfully fat. There was only one little row of cabbages left in all the great big garden. The bears had eaten all the rest, and lots of green apples, and raw potatoes. |
