This is the tale of a Bear who was “ill, very, very ill, his eyes were red. His snout was red. His throat was sore and gruffly, in fact, Bear was quite sure no one had ever been as ill as he was.” Thankfully his friend the mouse is there to advise him on making a will and allows him to wallow in self pity until poor mouse catches it too. At least they are not both poorly at the same time, they can therefore take turns looking after other, as true friends do.
