Uncle Herbear is an old teddy, who had his fur worn right off him by the boy who owned and then abandoned him manly years ago.. Uncle Herbear, who was taken in by our Noella, developed a taste for fishing during his wanderings, so sinxce he has been living in our attic, we have made him a small fly rod out of a turkey feather, and some trout of velxcro, for which he casts for hours at a time, with just as much apparent pleasure as if everything were real.
