So the little Cub Bear said to the owl very politely, "Come in, Mr.
Owl," and the owl came into the den.
He blinked his great eyes, and looked solemn and wise, and the little
Cub Bear said, "Mr. Owl, we are going to build a house, so that all the
animals can come to live with us if they want to, and we want to know
if you can help us to build the house."
And Mr. Owl said, very solemnly, "I would be very glad to help you,
because when we lived in the circus, your brother was very good to me,
and I should like to do anything I can to help you."
