One afternoon the three younger bears came back into their house after playing in the woods.
It was a few hours before tea time and they were all a little hungry.
The eldest bear, we will call him billy bear, was nominated to ask mummy bear if they could all have some honey to tide them over until tea time.
To the younger bear’s disappointment, the request for honey was rebuffed by Mummy Bear with a very firm “No”.
They were told in no uncertain terms to stop getting under her feet and to go out and play.
