The other animals comfort Bear by insisting that the party is just beginning. Sneezing awake, Bear is furious, but not because everyone is having a party in his cave, but because he has slept through it all. “And they nibble and they munch with a chew–chomp–crunch! But the bear snores on.” Nothing seems to bother Bear, at least until an errant pepper flake from the stew tickles his nose. Even when Badger passes out crunchy honey nuts and more guests begin arriving, “Bear snores on.” By the time Gopher, Mole, Wren, and Raven arrive, it’s a full-blown party. Hare arrives and they pop corn and brew tea, but even the slurping and burping doesn’t bother Bear.
Mouse arrives and builds a small fire to warm the chilly air. Snug in his cave, not even some visitors seeking shelter from the storm can wake Bear.
