RUPERT THE
BEAR AT THE PONDEROSA
On a
beautiful morning Rupert the Bear outside as he is not good looks out where he
walks. He stumbles, loses the consciousness and becomes awake near
Rupert has
never been there yet and it appears him well an amusing city to remain there
for a a few days. He stops by a hotel and rises from
his horse. Suddenly he is down walked by a notorious cowboy.
“Can’t you
look out where you walk rotten bear? ”, is the comment
of Jake Willis.
Rupert is
as bewildered that he nothing back knowledge to say. Hoss Cartwright and Candy
Canaday see the whole scene and they walk off on.
“Can you
well against a small bear? ”, asks Candy calm.
“He walked
in the way. Besides, what you do have do with it Canaday?
”, asks Jake.
“You must
take someone of your own seize. Not a small bear”, was the fierce reaction of
Hoss.
Jake want
him hit but Hoss is more fast. Jake notices that he is
now defeated and goes away. Candy and Hoss take care of Rupert who has broken
his ankle.
“Have your
somewhere pain? How are you called actually? ”, asks Candy calm.
“I am Rupert
the Bear. My left ankle does hurt. How is your name actually? ”, asks Rupert
who has defeated his shyness.
“I am Candy
Canaday and that is Hoss Cartwright. We will you to Doc Martin bring. Hoss, you
can carry him? ”, asks the foreman.
Hoss nods,
lifts Rupert careful on and brings him to the practice of Doc Paul Martin.
“This bear
became by Jake Willis down walked without a simple reason. His left ankle does
hurt”, says Candy.
“Just lay
him on the investigation table. Then I will take a look at it”, says Doc.
Rupert
becomes careful on the table gelegd and Hoss and Candy get the requestto wait
outside.
“Your ankle
is only broken guy”, says Paul after he the ankle has examined.
“I am
called Rupert the Bear”says Rupert experienced.
“Rupert, I
will set your ankle in plaster. You have already a spot to sleep? ”, asks Paul
meanwhile he sets the ankle of Rupert in the plaster.
The bear
shakes of no and says, “I am just here. I know only you, Candy Canaday and Hoss
Cartwright.”
“The Cartwrights
are good people. They live on the Ponderosa. Perhaps you can you that well
remain until your ankle is better”, answers Paul.
He took two
crutches.
Then he
goes outside and says to Hoss and Candy, “You may him take along.”
“Rupert we
take you with to our house. We are with the vehicle. Firstly we go the supply
get and then you and your horse. Meanwhile he can remain here Doc? ”, asks
Hoss.
That can
and they go their supply get at the grocer.
After a
while ride they back to the Ponderosa with Rupert Bear. He has very been
aroused curiosity to the other Cartwrights.
Soon reach they the ranch where Ben and Little Joe wait on them.
“What are
you late boys”, says Ben as Hoss parks the vehicle for the ranch house.
“We found
these bear that was walked down by Jake Willis. Pa, Joe, these is Rupert the
Bear. Rupert, these are pa and my little brother Little Joe”says Hoss.
“Hello
Rupert. Welcome at the Ponderosa”, says Ben.
With a
swing the bear gets put on the ground. Candy gives his boss the crutches for
the bear. Supporting on his crutches Rupert and Ben enter the house. In the
meantime Hoss, Little Joe and Candy bring in the supplies.
In the
living room Ben introduces Rupert to Hop Sing, the cook.
“Hop Sing,
Rupert remains there with us until his ankle is healed”, says Ben.
The guest
room becomes in order for Rupert the Bear.
Lying on
the bank falls the bear in sleep for a few hours.
When the
three boys something too loudly come in says Ben immediately against them,
“Calm boys. Rupert sleeps on the settee.”
The foreman
says, “Then we certainly must be calm.”
He looks at
the bear and begins to smile. He likes him well. Through the buzz Rupert wakes
up. Firsytly he rubs the sleep from his eye. Then the bear looks around being
amazed.
He asks the
others, “Where am I?”
“You are on
the Ponderosa and you fell on the bank in sleep. We go as at table. How does
this bear feel himself? ”, asks Ben him.
“Equip Mr
Cartwright”says Rupert meanwhile he goes to sit.
With a
curious look, he looks the living room around.
Then Hop
Sing calls wound up, “Food gets cold if Cartwrights not come at table. Hop Sing cook not for for nothing!”
“We come Hop Sing. Come Rupert. We go at table”, says Ben calm.
Calm Rupert
crutches and he are takes stumbles to the dining room.
At table
Rupert looks at with large eye and with even large amazement what Hoss all
works in. The others notice that.
Candy says,
“He always eat so much.”
“Where do
you leave that all? ”, asks Rupert amazed Hoss.
“Normally in
my stomach”, is his dry answer.
Rupert
knows of amazement nothing more to say and eat silent a complete warm meal.
After the
meal go they back to the living room. The Cartwrights notice that their small
guest already begins to feel at home a little bit.
Rupert says
on a given moment against Little Joe, “About why are you called actually Little
Joe? You are not that small.”
“I am the
youngest. That’s why they call me Little Joe”, lays Little Joe out.
“Sometimes
he is well small”, laughs Candy.
“You hold
your mouth now but Candy! ”, reacts Little Joe a
little bit incensed.
Then Candy
gets a smack of Rupert.
“You may
laugh at Little Joe but what cowboy is to be called there now Candy? ”, asks the bear the foreman.
Now that is
it the turn at Little Joe to laugh.
Candy looks
at Rupert and says, “I tell yourself tomorrow well how
I got that name.”
“No, now
that”, says Rupert with determined voice.
Everybody
looks at Candy thus there stretches for him nothing else on than to tell the
story.
“Well
Rupert, I grew on in an army basis. My father was the large Canaday. I was the
small Canaday thus named they me Candy. You understand? ”, is the question of
the foreman.
Rupert
says, “I find the but a strong story. I believe there
nothing of.”
Candy looks
the bear at and asks, “Do you want to ssay that I lie?”
Rupert nods
to hunt him on the cupboard. Ben Hoss and Little Joe have him through and play
the game along.
Candy looks
his boss at and asks, “Mr Cartwright this bear begins to feel himself something
surplus at home here on the ranch. What we must do about that?”
“Nothing.
Rupert remains here until are broken only cure is. Because it really calm is on
the ranch I give you the task to hold him busy. You are the foreman so….”, answers Ben.
The foreman
just looks at the bear and says than with a deep desire, “Good. As gentleman
Bear wants it.”
“Well………”says
Rupert and he waits on a reaction.
The
Cartwrights have trouble to hold their laugh in and Candy sits on hot char.
“Well
then”, says the bear after a while silence.
That night
sleep Rupert like a baby. The next morning firstly he doesn’t know where he is
but as he sees his broken ankle Rupert knows it. He washes and gets dressed. On
his crutches Rupert goes stumbling downstairs. The Cartwrights are already busy
with breakfast.
“Morning
Rupert”, says Ben.
“Also good morning Mr. Cartwright. Is there still something left or has Hoss
already eaten up everything? ”, asks Rupert troubling.
Everybody
begins to laugh.
Hoss says
protesting, “There are well what over for you.”
The bear
goes to sit down and begins at his breakfast.
“After the
breakfast I will let you see some of the Ponderosa Rupert”, says Ben after a
while. To that has Rupert
well ears.
“I will the
do Mr. Cartwright? I really must occuppy him? ”, asks Candy on that
moment. The rancher answers, “Good. You
may possible the carriage use.”
The foreman
looks Rupert at and the bear nods.
After the
breakfast Rupert Bear and Candy leave to look at the entire ranch. The bear
looks out his eye. When it is about lunch time Candy stops the carriage on a
very calm spot.
He says,
“Rupert, here stop we to eat. Or have your no appetite? I in
every case well.”
“I have
also well appetite. Can you help me from the carriage? ”, asks Rupert.
“Now will I
do that? ”, asks Candy troubling.
He jumps from the carriage and takes the
picnic basket that has given Hop Sing.
Rupert
throws it over someone else bow and asks then awful experienced, “Mr. Canaday,
do you want to set me on the ground please?”
“Go we now
that way as begin? ”, asks Candy on his turn.
Yet he sets
Rupert on the ground.
Suddenly
hears Candy rustling coming from the bushes. He lays his finger on the mouth of
Rupert and alluded him to go lie. That does the bear.
Candy takes his gun and goes also lie.
It remains quietly for a while. Then they both hear hear loud laughter.
Hoss and Little Joe come forth. They hard must laugh about the reaction of
Candy.
“I could
have shot you dead. Why are you here? ”, asks Candy wound up.
“Calm down.
We were inquisitively how you Rupert the ranch show.
But you are holding normally a picnic. You have an appetite Hoss? ”, asks
Little Joe.
“You bet.
We may remain for the lunch Rupert? ”, asks the second son of the host of
Rupert.
The bear
nods. Candy a protest but he hear let want know all a way to gewt back at them
“Hoss, Candy works really for you? ”, asks Rupert
after a while.
“Yes, what
do you mean? ”, asks Hoss amazed.
Candy feels
the shower already hanging and protests, “Shut your
mouth Rupert the Bear!”
The bear
ignores him and says, “Candy is teasing me.”
“That was
to be expected of him. But he not means it. Or surely Mr.
Canaday? ”, asks Hoss. Candy smiles and shakes from
no. It is very clear that Rupert has made new friends.
After the
lunch Candy and Rupert pull further leaving behind the both brothers
Cartwright. To get back at them the foreman has taken their horses Chub and Cochise
behind the carriage until they are somewhat further. After that Candy hitches
the horses in front the first horses.
That
evening Candy and Rupert are home for a long time again as Hoss and Little Joe
come walking on the property.
“As that
Canaday is there and he asks what we did this afternoon I murder him on to
spot”, growls Hoss from the ground of his heart.
His brother
agrees with him.
Inside
Candy asks Ben, “I think not that Hoss and Joe come yet. Meanwhile we will go
at table?”
“You are right.
Otherwise the food becomes cold. You come Rupert? ”,
asks the rancher.
He is on
the height of the plan that Candy and Rupert together devised. Rupert nods. The
three go
to the dining room.
On the moment that they want to begin to eat come Hoss and Little Joe
in.
“Hoss,
Joseph, you are just on time for the food”, Ben says amused as he sees them.
Candy and Rupert look as innocent possible as
both brothers at table come.
“We are as
late because that two took our horses along”, says Hoss angry.
“Then had
you with Joe must not creep up on us”, is the reaction of Candy.
To forget
his crossness Hoss begins at his meal at the same time. The other do that also.
On a
morning Rupert sits outside on the porch with Ben at the table. His sons and
Candy are for it busy.
“Joe, you
can me learn lasso throw? ”, asks Rupert Little Joe.
“That want
I you with great pleasure learn”says Little Joe.
“Eh Rupert,
Joe cannot do it very well. Consequently perhaps I better can learn you”, Hoss
suggests.
“Now how can
you know that? ”, asks Little Joe awfully incensed.
“Normally
because you are younger little brother”, is the reaction of Hoss.
“I will learn you it and better much than the both brothers
Cartwright”, promises Candy the bear.
But also on
this there is comment to hear.
“You hold
to your work Canaday. For Rupert must learn it good”, reacts
Little Joe.
Rupert and
Ben look at each other and Ben goes in. There in his office writes the rancher
on a paper,
|
Hereby
I, Benjamin Cartwright,
declare officially that I personally will teach our guest Rupert the Bear how to work with a
lasso. Signed, Ben
Cartwright. |
After this
he goes with it to outside and says then against his small guest, “This is for
you.” Rupert reads it and votes to.
“Do they
always as against each other? ”, asks he as Ben has
put the paper safely away.
“They all
want to make an impression on you. But they let you never down”, the rancher
explains.
Then he addresses
the boys and asks, “As you as remain quarrel that work never gets finished.
What must this bear not think of your behavior?”
“It will
happen no longer pa”, says Hoss.
Also Candy
and Little Joe promise that. Ben gives his youngest guest a wink meanwhile the
boys what shamed continue with their work. But they do it this timew silently.
Rupert must laugh about this and Ben also. Then Hop Sing comes outside with
four cups coffee and a cup milk.
“Hop Sing
Mr Cartwright drink do bring”says Hops Sing.
The cook
set the tray on table and goes to the kitchen again.
“Thanks Hop
Sing. Boys, if you seek no quarrel then is there
coffee”says Ben.
The three
boys come immediately to the porch for their coffeebreak.
Candy looks
at as once his small friend only says nothing.
The bear
notices that and asks, “Have I something on from you?”
“No, must
that than? ”, asks Candy on his turn.
“It will
really not fit me. About which will I attract of you then? ”, asks Rupert.
The
Cartwrights not must very laugh round these reaction
what Candy amusing finds.
“I get you
well little one”, promises Candy.
“Pa, I
believe that you address must our foreman once strand.
He begins to get talks again”, says Little Joe then.
“I hear it.
I will pass it on to Hop Sing that it tonight a dessert less necessary is. Four
instead of five”, says Ben very serious.
He looks at
his foreman.
“Are you
then way tonight that it but four desserts be necessary Mr. Cartwright? ”, asks Candy amazed.
“I not am
away necessary tonight. What we with it you will mean then well brands, Candy.
I am silent there over”, answers the rancher calmed down.
Everybody
except of Candy has through what it going is but nobody wants him explain what
is going on.
That
afternoon is Candy by chance in the Silver Dollar Saloon. At the bar, he drinks
calm a well deserved beer as Jake approaches him.
“Hey
Canaday, you’re the one I must have”, says Jake and he hits Candy on the
shoulder.
The foreman
turns around and asks suspicious, “I want nothing with you to make have! Walk
down a a small bear down walk.”
“That
rotten bear walked in the way! Where he is besides? You know that according to
me damn well”says Jake.
Candy looks
him then at and says, “That I not know well but that go I well at you tell.
Chuck really
on and go pestering your mother difficult cases with your abuses!”
Jake
becomes badly and screams almost against the foreman, “As you not quick tells
for which that rotten bear is I hit your eyes yet bluer than they already
be!”
“For that
must a fellow come, no after paper. But I will you say
where he is. That bear is in
“Yes very
satisfied Mr. Canaday. I wish yourself yet a very pleasant continuation of this
day”, says Jake.
He leave the
saloon meanwhile Candy by himself denkt,‘Creepl!’ He
makes his glass empty and goes then bavk to the ranch.
On the
Ponderosa tells the foreman Ben what has happened to him at the saloon. The
rancher doesn’t really like it but he can understand it though.
That
evenings Rupert hears the crying of a coyote. He hears this for the first time
and asks, “What is that for crying?”
“That is
the crying of a coyote. You must there no meet for they are
dangerous”, Ben expalins.
Although he
within is feels Rupert really a fearful feeling come up.
Candy says,
“Rupert here within you can nothing come over. We are there also.”
He and the
bear go to a window. In the distance they see the coyote cry. Rupert is now reassured.
Quite later
begins the slowly but certainly to rain. The rain clashes on
the roof and streams via the window to below.
When Rupert
sleeps says Ben, “I make myself see to round the safety of Rupert. Who knows how dangerous
that Jake Willis is.”
“He walked
that small bear deliberately down”, says Hoss wound up.
“Tomorrow
go I to the city Clem to ask if he has more news”said
the rancher.
The next
morning is Ben in the city as the sheriff gets to him.
He asks, “Ben, is Rupert the Bear still on the Ponderosa?”
Ben answers
with a question, “Temporary yet well. What do you mean Clem? He is sought?”
“No, not in that sense. But someone has stolen his horse from thelivery stable”, answers
sheriff Clem Foster.
“Rupert
told that Jake Willis him had down walked through which he be single broke.
Candy and Hoss were there witness of”, says Ben worried.
“Jake is a
large onruststoker. Certainly by whose are smaller than he”, says the
sheriff. “Candy had it yet with him at
the stick in the Silver Dollar yesterdayafternoon”, says Ben.
Clem know also how dangerous Jake is and can be. He goes out
about that to his office an arrest order for Jake Willis to write. Only yet
nobody know that Jake quickly behind end and bolt will
sit.
On a sunny
“Mr.
Cartwright, we will a fun take out with Candy? ”, asks
Rupert.
“What i
your plan? ”, will the rancher know.
“Because he
me as troubles want I him catch with the lasso”, lays Rupert out.
“Do but.
Look that is Candy by chance”, says Ben as they the foreman see work.
Rupert
throws his lasso with a beautiful throw over the foreman off. Candy stands
quietly and he know immediately who has caught him.
“Rupert
Bear, late me loose. Now that at the same time!”, orders Candy fierce.
“As you me
no longer troubles”says the bear with the Cartwrights as testify.
Candy asks,
“Good. I will you real no longer trouble
meanwhile you yet in the plaster sit. You want with that agreement go?”
Rupert
votes closed and he let him go.
Quite later
comes Jake collide with. He directs his
gun on Candy and calls, “View just these side on Canaday!”
That does
Candy only yet before Jake can shoot becomes his gun the air in swung by the
lasso of Rupert Bear. Through here can Hoss and Little Joe Jake overpower and
tie up. After that take they him with to the sheriff.
Through the
overmeestering of Jake Willis Rupert a hard fall and he makes loses because of
this the consciousness. After a short time the bear back again in Nutwood only
he is not good can walk. Fortunately finds his father him. He brings him to the
hospital. There the ankle of Rupert gets
set in the plaster. The young bear may per wheelchair to house with father
Bear. On the way to house tells Rupert over his polite adventure in
