Synopsis

A big brown bear strolls through the forest, dismissing warnings about a moose on the loose, a bad-tempered goose, a big pig, and even a wolf. Unfazed, he repeats, "I don't care!" But when a tiny mouse appears, the bear's bravado vanishes, and he scurries back to his lair. This playful rhyming tale highlights how even the mightiest can be startled by the smallest surprises.
