Aunt Bear was wrong, he said. "This isn't Christmas.

There is something more, because when boys and girls have it, it's pretty, and it's lots of fun, and it makes you feel good from the inside out.

Then Mother Bear said she would find out what Christmas is.

Off she went down the mountain-side to the little log house, and she listened and looked and sniffed.
她顺着山坡偷偷地溜到了小木屋旁，她又是听又是看，还用鼻子仔细地嗅了嗅。
