:25:02
That's right, son.
:25:03
Maybe we can tell a few tales tonight.
How'd you like that?

:25:07
- Hey, Pa.
- Maybe your ma'll tell us a tale.

:25:10
- Eh, Ma?
- I might.

:25:13
Hey, Ma!
:25:23
Well, Uncle Miles looked at them
two bear cubs and he says:

:25:27
"I'm gonna catch me one of them."
So he did.

:25:30
But he didn't have nothing
to tote it in.

:25:33
Being from Georgia,
he had on long underdrawers.

:25:36
He took them off, tied knots
in the legs and made a sack.

:25:40
He put the cub in it, and as he's
reaching for his britches...

:25:44
...here comes a-crashing.
:25:46
And that she-bear come
out of the thicket, right at him.

:25:50
- Jody-boy, fetch me my pipe, son.
- Oh, Pa!

:26:01
- What you grinning at?
- Oh, nothing.

:26:05
I look all right?
:26:06
You look just dandy, sweetheart.
:26:14
Thank you, boy.
:26:17
He takened out through
the swamp and dropped the cub.

:26:21
And the old mammy gathered it up,
drawers and all.

:26:24
She was so close,
she stepped on a vine...

:26:27
...and it tripped him and throwed him
in the brambles.

:26:31
Now, Aunt Moll
was kind of muddle-minded.

:26:34
She never could make out
how he come home without drawers...

:26:37
...and his bottom scratched.
Uncle Miles said:

:26:41
"That weren't nothing to the puzzling
of that mammy bear...

:26:44
...over them drawers on her cub."
:26:50
Oh, Pa, you got all them tales
in your mind and don't tell them.

:26:55
I ain't much for dogs, but there was
a dog once I takened a notion to.
