a_huge_cake tt dear squirrel, on your birthday, there's sure to be a huge cake. just this once, could i eat the cake all on my own? preferably a honey cake. everyone can watch. i'll eat it more beautifully and greedily than has ever been seen before. everyone will clap and cheer. i promise you. then everything can carry on as before (best wishes, unwrapping presents, dancing, saying farewell, saying it was so much fun, asking who's going to have a birthday soon, etc.) it's only a wish, squirrel. the bear dear bear, that's fine. i'll make two cakes, instead of just one. the squirrel dear squirrel, thank you for your letter. when i've started eating and everyone is clapping and cheering, would you mind if i carry on and eat the other cake as well? everyone will jump in the air with admiration for me, i'm sure of it. they'll quack and whistle and hiss. then it really will be an unforgettable birthday. but if you made three cakes, that would be perfect. i'm sure of that, squirrel. three large cakes. and if they're all honey cakes, then four. the bear 130204 what's it to you? who go blather from
