    (continued from previous page)
    said to himself "I mustn't mind that, it is only the fishes biting me".
    At last he could not bear it any longer. "I must pull up my tail now, I wonder how many fishes I have caught" said he pulling and pulling but couldn't because his tail was stuck to the ice. "Oh what shall I do" said the bear and he ran off and left his tail behind him and that is why the bear has only a stump of a tail.
