Clever Boy Growly Bear

Growly Bear has been very clever today. Very clever indeed. He came out of an encounter with Fatty Flatfoot having turned one of her spells back on herself.

As well as constantly putting spells upon those around her, Fatty Flatfoot is also surrounded by a number of protective spells . Many others do not know this of course. They think the crackling sound as she passes is caused by the vast quantities of nylon and crimpelene she wears. Growly Bear and Princess Kitty know it is the crackle of magic.

Growly Bear had not intended to deflect the spell, although of course he is always on his guard in her presence. He often does magic without meaning too. Today, just as Fatty Flatfoot was bewitching those around her to do her bidding he came up with a clever new idea. Growly Bear does not know this but clever new ideas are a very effective way to counter and reflect a spell if they appear at just the right moment. And today Growly Bear's idea did just that. He watched in amazement as Fatty Flatfoot and those around her changed from virtually ignoring him to praising him for such a wonderful idea. They agreed to everything he suggested. Growly Bear simply watched in amazement.

Princess Kitty is very proud of him. She knows he has strong powers even though he does not recognise them himself. She is a little worried too. If Fatty Flatfoot ever finds out he is so magical he could be in great danger. Anyone who can do what she does to guinea pigs is a force to be reckoned with. She thinks Fatty Flatfoot may already have a little suspicion, but for now the extra protective spells she has woven around Growly Bear seem to be keeping him safe..............................
