The Berenstain Bear Scouts and the Ice Monster Quotes

“Now, understand. If we can put this over with Papa and the chief, we're going to watch you like a hawk!"
"Four hawks!" said Sister.”

“It's my own fault," said Ralph. "I delayed going downriver to warmer climes just a little too late and . . . well, you see what happened. I've no money, no food, no firewood. So I'm slowly freezing and starving to death. Please take Squawk to the warmth of one of your cozy homes. There's no hope for me. I can feel the icicles forming around my heart. Farewell, sweet scouts! Farewell!"
"You stop that kind of talk," said Brother. "You can't give up. You've got dozens of crooked swindling years still ahead of you.”

“Once outside, the stranger continued his warning. "Go back to the old ways! Hibernate! Only those who hibernate shall be saved! So says I.M. Weird!"
Officer Marguerite closed the door. But out of sight isn't always out of mind. The raggedy stranger's warning cast a spell of gloom over the Town Hall audience.”

“Friet, quiends—er, quiet, friends," said Mayor Honeypot, tapping the microphone. The citizens of Beartown were used to the fact that the mayor sometimes got the fronts and backs of his words mixed up. So they just waited patiently until he got them straightened out.
"Cellow fitizens—er, fellow citizens—we are gathered gere—er, gathered here—to announce that the Grand Marshal of this year's Winter Carnival is that brince among pears—er, prince among bears—none other than Baba Q. Pear, er, Quapa P. Bear, er, Papa B. Quear..."
The mayor never did get Papa's name out properly, but it really didn't matter because the crowd was on its feet giving Papa a standing ovation.”

“Look. He's handing out little cards," said Brother.
"Maybe he'll give me one," said Sister, scurrying off through the crowd.
"Hey, wait!" said Brother, who was always nervous about Sister's bold ways. Not that there was much anybody could do about it. That's the way it was with the Bear Scouts. Each scout brought something special to the troop. Sister was bold. Brother was a natural leader. Super-smart Fred read the dictionary and encyclopedia just for fun. Lizzy was so in tune with nature that she could pet a skunk without getting skunked.”

“A Bear Scout...
Is as honest as the day is long.
Admire when he or she is wrong.
Respects the creatures of creation.
Views TV in moderation.
Is never cruel, rude, or mean.
Plays the game fair and clean.
Does his best at school.
Following the golden rule, always
respects the rights of others,
including even sisters' and brothers'.”
