Noon
`` I 'll gladly pick the berries , '' said Little Bear , `` and I 'll go with you to find a hen 's nest that has eggs in it to scramble . '' `` You will stay with your father while I go for the eggs , '' answered his mother . So after Little Bear had filled one green basket with delicious wild strawberries , he stayed with his father while Mother Bear went for the eggs . `` Noon is the time for dinner , '' Little Bear said in grumbling tones , `` and roasted eggs are not so good as scrambled . '' `` Son Bear , '' answered Father Bear sternly , `` Mother Bear is always right ! '' Soon back came Mother Bear , walking fast . And when Little Bear saw the eggs in her green basket , he was so much pleased that he forgot to be cross , although he did not forget his wish .
