Next day there was a great stir in the woods.  
The little Bears went out to invite all the animals to their party.
 
Mama Bear hired sixteen cooks to help her. She had so much gold now, that she was quite rich.
 
The sixteen cooks baked and stewed and boiled things all day.
 
 By night, all was ready for the party.
 
King Cole, who lived on Primrose Hill, heard about the party, and he sent his three fiddlers, so that every one might dance.
 
At six o'clock the animals began to come.
 
The Cotton-Tail family, and the Grizzly Bear family, the Furry Coon family, and the Fluffy Ball family, the Red Tail family, and the Birds all came.
 
Last of all came old Grandpa Grum­bles.
 
He was grumbling as he came along.
 
"This bag is too heavy for an old fellow to carry. It is a very heavy bag, but I wouldn't have it lighter," he said.
 
They all set up a shout when they saw Grandpa Grumbles, and they ran to help him carry the bag.
 
Now what do you suppose was in the bag?
 
It was a grab-bag, and there was a present in it for everyone.
 
How the animals did enjoy that grab-bag!
 
After a while supper was ready, and they had a fine supper, then they danced and sang, and Little Bear told all about his travels, and about finding the pot of gold.
 
Just at this minute Bushy Tail stuck his head in at the window.
