Tell her about it
Wendell was a little frightened at first sight. "Wow man. You’re a really BIG bear. And so white too, You OK man?”
“I’m quite well, thank you” Replied Oliver, “I never thought of myself as large.”
(Oliver was actually on the smallish side, for a polar bear.)
“You do look to me quite small. I had taken you for a sheep, or a gazelle, by the size.Are you certain you’re a bear?”
“What’s a gazelle man? Or a sheep?”
“Animals that live in cages near my home” “But you’re a bear?”
“It ain’t size that makes a bear man!” Said Wendell testily.
“Just what does make a bear then?” Oliver considered thoughtfully, sitting back among the flowers in the garden.
“I don’t know man, but it ain’t size. Fer sure. I know lots of bears of all sizes.”
“The only bears I know are all like me.” “Are there many bears like you hereabouts?”
“Don’t ask me man, I’m not from ‘round here.” And I bet you ain’t either!”
Wendell was rapidly losing his fear, because of Oliver’s gentle manners.
“True! I live at the zoo, downtown. And you?” Snapped Oliver, rising to Wendell’s challenging tone. And to his full height.
“I’m from up North of here, don’t know how far.” Said Wendell, a bit chastisedly,seeing he could not push Oliver around. “I sorta got down here by accident.’
“Not an unhappy accident, I trust” remarked Oliver, mollified, “Given the lovely garden here.”
