There were bears with long claws and growling roars,

swooping owls of all shapes and sizes

and a pack of hungry wolves with dribbling mouths
![Page 15: The kissed that missed by David Melling](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5549ae34b4c905bc6d8b4679/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Bears stopped being growly,
