There was once a bear who was an alcoholic. He would often go out to the bar and come home late. When he arrived home drunk, he made lots of commotion, yelled and screamed, and tripped over furniture. His family lived in fear.
One day the bear sobered up. He didn't go to the bar anymore. But he stayed out late and when he arrived home he made lots of commotion, yelled and screamed, and tripped over the furniture. His family lived in fear.
