Smokey Bear

I love Smokey Bear. When the State Fair comes, he is there in the woods preventing forest fires. Here are some tips that I remember from his book: break matches and hold them until they're cold; always drown a fire and if you see that a cigarette is still smoking - step on it and crush it, because it will cause a fire. His true story is that he was a little cub. He walked around without his mother, when she was asleep. Then some careless person came and set a fire! Animals ran and Smokey climbed a tree. His mother died. People stopped the fire and saved Smokey. They took him out and bandaged him and helped him. Then he was better and more fur grew over the burnt spots. He got a ranger hat and the ranger named him Smokey. It fit him perfectly. Now he's grown up and protects against forest fires. Only you can prevent wild fires!

Woodsy Owl is his friend. He says "No litter!". I do, too!
