What is in a Name?
What is in a name?
“Hey, I say, you young bear chappie…erm, what’s your name again?”
“Barnaby, what can I do for you Wellington?”
“No good, you’ll need to speak up and stop mumbling young bear.”
“Sorry Wellington, I said my name is Barnaby.”
“Yes, that’s right, Mandy. Knew it was something like that. Keep getting your name mixed up with someone else, don’t you know?”
“Never mind, what can I do for you?”
“The polar bear, Icecap, haven’t seen him about recently. Just wondering what became of him. Don’t like losing touch with any bear. Just been to his cold place and it is empty, don’t you know? Checked it out thoroughly, not there.”
“No, Icecap has gone out with Ellie in the ellicopter to visit his family and play in the white stuff. He said providing Ellie finds her way back he should be home in a few sleeps.”
“Out with Ellie, dangerous stuff then. Wouldn’t catch me going up with that crazy elephant. Saw her once take that thing up, go downside up and flew off backwards. Couldn’t see what was coming, or is that going? Just hoped that everything got out of her way I suppose. Not proper flying, no, couldn’t go up with her. Think I will give it a miss.”
Posh Bear, Sky and Bertie all arrived and sat down with Wellington and Barnaby.
“Morning chaps, I was just asking young Mandy here about the polar bear. Hadn’t seen him for a while, just keeping in touch, don’t you know?”
“You mean Barnaby.” Said Sky smiling at his friend.
“Really? I was sure he said his name was Icecap. Oh well, Barnaby it is I suppose. Dashed if I’ll remember it, too many names about these days. I sometimes think that every bear has a name. Never used to be that way, well I don’t think it did. Didn’t used to see that many bears about, not like now. Good to see all you guys.”
“We have just been out with the man. He went out on his two-wheeled thingy and we got in one of the side bags.” Said Bertie.
“Yes, it is nice outside, seeing all the green stuff and flying through the countryside.” Said Posh Bear.
“I did that once, it got very wet so I did not do it again. I suppose it could be nice on a warm day.” Said Wellington still looking confused.
“It was warm out there today.” Said Sky smiling at his friends.
“I say chaps, are you sure that the bear that lives in the cold place is called Barnaby? I was sure he told me Icecap.”
“It is Icecap, he is away at the moment though.” Said Sky.
“Why tell me that he is called Barnaby then and who is Mandy?” Asked Wellington scratching his head in confusion.
“I didn’t, Wellington, you got mixed up that is all. This is Barnaby.” He said pointing to Barnaby.
“Oh, are you sure? So, who is Mandy?”
“I don’t know anyone called Mandy. Wellington, I think you need the fur trimmed in your ears as you are not hearing too well today.” Said Posh Bear.
“Really? What was that you said? Oh, fur in the ears, yes just off to see Linda Bear now. Fine bear, very good at trimming things, don’t you know? Have you ever tried her, Posh, you should you would hear better so they say. I should have gone yesterday I think, then the honey arrived and I had to sort that out.”
“Linda Bear is on the bed; she will help you.” Said Sky smiling.
“Sky, I knew I had to tell you something. That honey that came yesterday, I think half of the jars had the label on the wrong side so I had to turn those jars around. Why do they do that? Awkward turning jars around with small paws, don‘t you know?”
“I think it is because some bears are left pawed and some right pawed. It doesn’t matter Wellington but if you don’t want it let me know and I will lose it for you.”
“Right, yes, I had heard something along those lines. No, I have sorted it out now all the same. Anyway, must go, got to see Linda Bear don’t you know. She trims the fur out of my ears so I hear better.” Said Wellington standing up and leaving the bears who all smiled.
