Cuffy Bear in "A Surprise"

"Why, Ephraim Bear!" Mrs. Bear exclaimed, as soon as she saw her husband.
"Wherever did you get that lovely little pig?" There—now you know what it was that Mr. Bear had. "It came from Farmer Green's, my dear," Mr. Bear said. "I remembered that this was your birthday, and so I thought I would bring home something 'specially nice, so that we could have a real feast." Cuffy and Silkie had never eaten any pig before. And when there was nothing left of the surprise except a few bones, Cuffy couldn't help wishing that every day could be a birthday.
