At long last, the pot of honey was within reach.
But Alas, disaster struck.
The huge pot of honey came crashing down on the floor along with the three bears.
Mummy Bear was in another room knitting, having put the baby bear to bed for her afternoon sleep.
Naturally, though, her peaceful afternoon was disturbed by the noise of the crashing honey pot coming from the kitchen.
Furious by having her peace disturbed, Mummy bear wasted no time in rushing to the kitchen to see what all the dreadful noise was about.
Mummy bear was even angrier when she saw the smashed honey pot, sticky honey, all over the kitchen floor, and the three younger bears covered in the liquid.
