I Was Wondering...
Posh Bear sat down beside his friends having brushed his fur and now ready to have his photograph taken…again. The man was busy sorting out the camera and such and didn’t notice the confused expression on Sky’s face.
“What have you been doing this morning?” Posh asked his friends.
“I’ve been counting the jars of honey, Posh and we have more than three.” Said Bertie smiling.
“I’ve been trying to solve a widdle.” Said Sky rubbing his head with his paw.
“A widdle? I’m not sure you mean that, Sky.” Said Bertie giggling.
“I am confused with thunking and it really is a big widdle.” He replied looking at both Posh and Bertie.
“I think you mean a riddle, Sky. So, what is this riddle?” Said Posh smiling gently as his young friend.
“Well, Posh, outside it is getting colder, much colder and the days are becoming shorter. Inside the man gets around the problem by heating the house and using electrickery lights. He also wears more clothes so he keeps warm.”
“Yes, that is right Sky, that is quite normal, so, what is the riddle?” Asked Posh Bear.
“Well, don’t you see, Posh? Outside the trees and bushes are taking off their clothes and soon will be bare and cold having worn all those clothes all hot summer long, yet in here, the man is doing the very opposite. Now, one of them might have just got it wrong, and I am hoping that it isn’t the man, and he realises his mistake and makes the house cold.”
“I agree with you Sky, I am confused by it as well. After all, in the dark and dismal days of winter hoomans and bears alike would love to see lots of lovely coloured flowers in the garden, and of course there is very little. In the summer when it is bright and warm then the gardens are flooded in colour. The bright flowers cheer everyone up, I think, as hoomans generally seem happier in the summer when it is nice and warm and the light and heater in the sky is turned on for longer outside. I could never work out why they don’t just pay the extra and leave it switch on all the time.” Said Bertie looking at his friend Sky to see if he agreed.
“That’s right, Bertie, with all those flowers in colour so the buzzy things would come out and make lots more honey, so it would be extra good and then there wouldn’t be a widdle to solve.” Said Sky now much happier his friend agreed with him and he wasn’t alone in his thoughts.
“It can’t work like that though, for you see when we have it cold here, and it is called winter by hoomans, on the other side of this planet it is there summer and they have the heater and light in the sky. We take it in turns as the planet revolves.” Explained Posh Bear.
“Can’t they afford one of their own then, Posh? Do we have to share?” Asked Bertie.
“It isn’t a matter of affording, Bertie, there is only one heater and light in the sky and they can’t put another one up there.”
“I’m sure there should be another one up there somewhere, I think I’ll mention it to Orange Ellie and ask her to look next time she is up in the ellicopter.” Said Bertie after a think.
“We could ask Pink Ellie if she has seen one too, Bertie, I mean she has collided into most things up there, so she would know.”
“That is a great idea, Sky. Going back to what Posh was saying about the other side of the planet now having sunshine, do you think all the trees and bushes should really be over there instead of here right now and then come back here next cold time when they are all wrapped up in leaves so they can stay warm? Maybe they got lost once upon a time and still haven’t found their ways back to where they should be.” Argued Bertie.
“A very manure and considered suggestion, Bertie.” Said Sky nodding his head thoughtfully.
“Sky, I think you mean mature and not manure… although come to think about it…” said Posh Bear smiling.
