What was
the young's
name? THE big bear and the clever fox had once bought a firkin of butter together; they were to have it at Christmas-tide, and hid it till then under a thick spruce bush.
      After that they went a little way off and lay down on a sunny bank to sleep. So when they had lain a while the fox got up, shook himself, and bawledout "yes."
      Then he ran off straight to the firkin and ate a good third part of it. But when he came back, and the bear asked him where he had been since he was so fat about the paunch, he said,
      "Don't you believe then that I was bidden to a childbed feast."
      "So, so," said the bear. "What was the young's name?"
      "Just-begun," said the fox.
      So they lay down to sleep again. In a little while up jumped the fox again, bawled out "yes," and ran off to the firkin.
      This time, too, he ate a good lump. When he came back, and the bear asked him again where he had been, he said,
      "Oh wasn't I bidden to a naming childbed party again, don't you think."
      "And pray what was the young's name this time?" asked the bear.
      "Half-eaten," said the fox.
      The bear thought that a very queer name, but he hadn't wondered long over it before he began to yawn and gapewhen we wake, he is the thief."
      Yes, that trial the big bear felt ready to stand; and as he knew in his heart he had never so much as tasted the butter.
      Then Reynard stole off to the firkin for a morselof butter, which stuck there in a crack. Then he crept back to the bear who now lay without a care, sleeping in the sun, and greased his chaps and cheeks with it. Then he, too, lay down to sleep as if nothing had happened.
      So when they both woke, the sun had melted the butter, and the bear's whiskers were all greasy; so it was the bear after all, and no one else, who had eaten the butter.
      Was it? (2)
