The little Cub Bear then told the monkey how he had just touched that
mean old porcupine and had got his foot full of quills, that no one in
the whole world could ever get out.
But the monkey said, "I can get them out all right, for you know that I
have two hands with fingers on them, just like a little boy."
So the monkey pulled out all of the quills, and after that the little
Cub Bear could walk all right.
But he said to himself, "After this I will let other people alone,
until I get acquainted with them."
