Brother Bruin

All Resolutions

A herd of crawling white bears covers an ice field, surrounding the one bear that stands erect

They all came smelling, and evidently took me for a brother Bruin.

Description:

A large herd of crawling white bears covers an entire ice field, surrounding the one bear that stands erect, its front paws held up as though asking for attention.

The caption reads in the German edition: Sie kamen, einer nach dem andern, berochen mich und hielten mich augenscheinlich für einen Bruder Petz.
