oh clever one................................

 When the chesty, fierce-furred bear becomes sick, he travels the mountainsides and the fields, searching for certain grasses, flowers, leaves and herbs, that hold within themselves the power of healing.  He eats, he grows stronger.  Could you, oh clever one, do this?  Do you know anything about where you live, what it offers?  Have you ever said, "Sir Bear, teach me.  I am a customer of death coming, and would give you a pot of honey and my home on the western hills to know what you know."
