One day a bear passed by a wren's nest. And there were only chicks in the nest. The wren returned home, and the chicks told him what a huge animal they saw and how scared they were. A wren fluttered onto a low bush, jumped from twig to twig higher and higher and asked the chicks:
- Is that what he was like? Like this?
Finally, the chicks shouted that the animal was just that tall.
“If I were at home,” says the wren, “this beast would lie under my doors.”
