Grubby Paws

Growly Bear has been out on his skateboard today. He has been out doing tricks and stunts.

First Growly Bear had to fix his skateboard because it has not been working properly. Growly Bear likes fixing things. He likes to get his paws dirty. He likes to smell of engine oil. He thinks it makes him seem more bear-like. Growl!

Princess Kitty does not like fixing things. She does not like it at all. She especially does not like getting her paws dirty. She thinks this is probably because she is made for better things. But she does like to watch Growly Bear fix things. She thinks he is very clever.

Princess Kitty wonders if you have to get your paws dirty to understand the point of guinea pigs. She hopes not.

Growly Bear did not show Princess Kitty any of his tricks and stunts today. But he did tell her about some of them. Princess Kitty told him to be careful. Growly Bear showed her his grubby paws, puffed out his chest and said "Growl"
