When Samy arrived at the road where Bear forty-two was stranded and where two other Bears were looking for the missing drum, he immediately took charge. He tied himself to a tree branch; then he threw the rope down to the two Bears who by then had found the drum and were carrying it as far as they could.
“Tie the rope around yourselves,” he said, “I will pull you up.”
He pulled and pulled and finally the two were close enough to the road that they were able to hoist themselves up.
“Thank you, thank you,” they said and dropped the drum next to the wagon. Samy untied himself, but when he lifted his leg over the tree branch he tripped on the rope and hurt his ankle.
“You might have to let me ride home on your wagon,” he said.
In the meantime the Bears who had stayed behind watched the rescue on the computer.
“Oh look, I think Mr. Putnam is hurt. They’re carrying him to the wagon. Now he is sitting on top of the drums.”
“I hope he doesn’t fall off.” They giggled.
“You’re not supposed to zoom in and out all the time.”
“I want to find out who those other guys are. Look, they’re posing for the webcam.”
“Let me see.”
The girls watched the group slowly proceed toward the edge of the screen. When they could no longer see them they abandoned the computer. Bear thirty-nine picked up her mallets and began to tap her steelpan.
