Cuffy Bear in "Cuffy Frightens His Mother"

And then his father went off into the forest with him and Cuffy led the way to the bee-tree; for Mr. Bear knew enough about bees so that he could take their honey away from them without getting stung badly. He didn't mind just a few stings, you know. Well—what do you think happened? When they came to the old tree Mr. Bear took just one look at the nest into which Cuffy had thrust his paw. And then he began to laugh, though he was somewhat disappointed, as you will see. "Those aren't bees!" he told Cuffy. "That's a hornets' nest!... We'd get no honey there."
