Berenstain Bears and the Big Election
"Blast!" said Papa Bear as the Bear
family's car went over a very big bump.
The Bear family—Papa, Mama, Brother,
and Sister—were on their way to town
to do some shopping.
"These roads are in terrible shape,"
said Papa angrily. "Why, these roads are
enoug...
"Blast!" said Papa Bear as the Bear
family's car went over a very big bump.
The Bear family—Papa, Mama, Brother,
and Sister—were on their way to town
to do some shopping.
"These roads are in terrible shape,"
said Papa angrily. "Why, these roads are
enough to shake your teeth loose!"
Then, just after they went over the
big bump, the car hit a deep pothole.
"Double blast!" Papa shouted. And
when he got out of the car to look for
damage, the edge of the road crumbled
and he fell into a ditch.
Now Papa was really angry.
"Outrageous!" he shouted as Mama
and the cubs helped him out of the
ditch. "Bear Country is falling apart!
Why doesn't the government do
something?"
"Why don't you do something, dear?"
said Mama, who was getting a little
tired of Papa's complaining.
"Like what?" asked Papa.
"Well, you could vote in the next
election," said Mama, pointing to a
sign. The sign said election coming.
BE SURE TO VOTE.
"Hmmm," said Papa.
"I'll do more than vote in the next
election," said Papa. "I'll be in the next
election. I'm going to run for president
of the Town Council!"
"Oh, boy!" said the cubs.
"Oh, dear!" said Mama.
"And you," said Papa to Brother and
Sister, "will be my campaign
managers!"
"Oh, boy! Wow!" shouted the cubs.
But Mama had doubts. There
were others in the race. What Mama
was worried about was Papa's
disappointment if he should lose.
"Dear," she said, "I really think you
should think twice about this."
But Papa wasn't listening. He was
already dreaming about the glories of
being president of the Town Council.
He promised the bears that if he was
elected there would be honey in every
honey pot, a scratching post on every
corner, and trout in every stream.
When election day came, Papa was
still shaking paws and making promises.
It was a bright sunny day and
everybody came out to vote. Papa and
Mama voted early. So did the other
candidates for council president.
Then they all went home to wait for
the votes to be counted.
It was late evening when the word
came. Papa had won! He had won the
election! Papa was president of the
Town Council!
It was very exciting to be elected to
high office. When Papa went to sleep
that night, he had a big smile on his
face.
"Hmm," said Brother, looking at the
long, long line. "There's just one
trouble with running for high office—
you just might get elected!"
