Cuffy Bear in "Cuffy Learns Something"

"This maple-sugar—does it taste as good as the sweet sap?" he asked his father. "Yes, my son—a hundred times better!" Mr. Bear replied. "I ate some once And I shall never forget it." A hundred times better! After he had gone to bed that night the words kept ringing in Cuffy's ears. A hundred times better! A hundred times better!... A hundred—And now Cuffy was fast asleep and—I am sorry to say it—sucking one of his paws for all the world as if it was a piece of Farmer Green's maple-sugar.
