[Picture: The Dancing Bear and Dogs]

I wish the bear had remained in Russia or Poland, rather than, after

being brought from his native woods, to be thus tormented; for who can

tell what misery he underwent in learning to move at the command of his

keeper. And as for the poor dogs, they must be very tired before their

day’s work is ended. I would rather find employment for the men, than

give them money for punishing poor animals as they do!
