Four Months Later I have been off hunting and fishing a month, up in the region that she calls Buffalo; I don't know why, unless it is because there are not any buffaloes there. Meantime the bear has learned to paddle around all by itself on its hind legs, and says "poppa" and "momma." It is certainly a new species. FOUR MONTHS LATER I'VE BEEN OFF HUNTING AND FISHING A MONTH UP IN THE REGION THAT SHE CALLS BUFFALO I DON'T KNOW WHY UNLESS IT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT ANY BUFFALOES THERE MEANTIME THE BEAR HAS LEARNED TO PADDLE ROUND ALL BY ITSELF ON ITS HIND LEGS AND SAYS PAPA AND MAMMA IT IS CERTAINLY A NEW SPECIES
 on its hind legs, and then falls down. It is probably some kind of a bear; and yet it has no tail—as yet—and no fur, except on its head. It still keeps on growing—that is a curious circumstance, for bears get their growth earlier than this. Bears are dangerous—since our catastrophe—and I shall not be satisfied to have this one prowling about the place much longer without a muzzle on. I have offered to get her a kangaroo if she would let this one go, but it did no good—she is determined to run us into all sorts of foolish risks, I think. She was not like this before she lost her mind. A Fortnight Later I examined its mouth. There is no danger yet; it has only one tooth. It has no tail yet. It makes more noise now than it ever did before—and mainly at night. I have moved out. But I shall go over, mornings, to breakfast, and to see if it has more teeth. If it gets a mouthful of teeth, it will be time for it to go, tail or no tail, for a bear does not need a tail in order to be dangerous. FINGER AND THUS GOES A FEW STEPS ON ITS HIND LEGS AND THEN FALLS DOWN IT IS PROBABLY SOME KIND OF A BEAR AND YET IT HAS NO TAIL AS YET AND NO FUR EXCEPT ON ITS HEAD IT STILL KEEPS GROWING THAT IS A CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE FOR BEARS GET THEIR GROWTH EARLIER THAN THIS BEARS ARE DANGEROUS SINCE OUR CATASTROPHE AND I SHALL NOT BE SATISFIED TO HAVE THIS ONE PROWLING ABOUT THE PLACE MUCH LONGER WITHOUT A MUZZLE ON I HAVE OFFERED TO GET HER A KANGAROO IF SHE WOULD LET THIS ONE GO BUT IT DID NO GOOD SHE IS DETERMINED TO RUN US INTO ALL SORTS OF FOOLISH RISKS I THINK SHE WAS NOT LIKE THIS BEFORE SHE LOST HER MIND A FORTNIGHT LATER I EXAMINED ITS MOUTH THERE IS NO DANGER YET IT HAS ONLY ONE TOOTH IT HAS NO TAIL YET IT MAKES MORE NOISE NOW THAN IT EVER DID BEFORE AND MAINLY AT NIGHT I HAVE MOVED OUT BUT I SHALL GO OVER MORNINGS TO BREAKFAST AND SEE IF IT HAS MORE TEETH IF IT GETS A MOUTHFUL OF TEETH IT WILL BE TIME FOR IT TO GO TAIL OR NO TAIL FOR A BEAR DOES NOT NEED A TAIL IN ORDER TO BE DANGEROUS
