The three bears had been having some trouble recently and had ended up in family court. Mama and Papa bear
were splitting up, and baby bear had to decide who
he was going to live with.
So, the judge wanted to talk to baby bear to see what
he thought about living with either of his parents.
When he asked baby bear about living with his father,
baby bear said "No, I can't live with Papa bear,
he beats me terribly." "OK," said the judge, "then
you want to live with your mother, right?"
"No way!" replied baby bear, "She beats me worse
than Papa bear does." The judge was a bit confused by
this, and didn't quite know what to do. "Well, you
have to live with someone, so is there any relatives
you would like to stay with?" asked the judge.
"Yes," answered baby bear, "my aunt Bertha bear
who lives in Chicago." "You're sure she will treat
you well and won't beat you?" asked the judge.
"Oh definitely," said baby bear,
"the Chicago Bears don't beat anybody."
