The three bears had been having some trouble recently and had ended up in
family court. Mama and Papa bear were splitting up, and baby bear had to decide
who he was going to live with.
So, the judge wanted to talk to baby bear to see what he thought about living
with either of his parents. When he asked baby bear about living with his
father, baby bear said "No, I can't live with Papa bear, he beats me
terribly."
"OK," said the judge, "then you want to live with your mother,
right?"
"No way!" replied baby bear, "She beats me worse than Papa bear
does."
The judge was a bit confused by this, and didn't quite know what to do.
"Well, you have to live with someone, so is there any relatives you would
like to stay with?" asked the judge.
"Yes," answered baby bear, "my aunt Bertha bear who lives in
Chicago."
"You're sure she will treat you well and won't beat you?" asked the
judge.
"Oh definitely," said baby bear, "the Chicago Bears don't beat
anybody."
