The Bear and The Bard

A whimsical lute plucking and strumming song about a grizzly bear with a coat of white, black, and brown, attends a town fair with his handsome bard. Full of oddities and frivolous jigging, in the season of summer, the rapscallion pair stumble upon an exciting celebration in the mining town of Trebon. Once they enter, they hastily realize that a gaggle of gathering of the townfolk are selling honey jars, coffee, silver chairs, and bags of blazing blue fire. This attracts the bard in hopes of making a few coins, and therefore, he begins to entertain the people with card tricks, juggling, and singing songs. Yet during the bears performance, unbeknownst to the fair bard, the honey in the sweet air, over takes the bear in hunger, and he ransacks the town for every jelly morsel. This causes the folk of the town to panic, trying to stop the bear, but the bard does nothing, instead laughing at the scene, because he is too drunk. I am sure you can guess who the bard might be. Think of the bear.
