Cuffy Bear in "Cuffy Meets A Man"

And then how Cuffy Bear did roar just one second after he had stuck his paws into the steaming pan. You see he was so greedy that he had never once stopped to think that the syrup was boiling hot.

Now, usually if you pick up anything hot you can drop it at once. But it is not so with hot maple syrup. Cuffy's paws were covered with the sticky brown stuff. He rubbed them upon his trousers, and he roared again when he saw what he had done.
