Bart Bear's Blog

This guy has to be one of the most balanced bakers in the world. The oldies saw him at Khan el-Khalili, the oldest market in Cairo. Mum really loves markets and she quickly got used to the way Egyptian shopkeepers hassle tourists. She turned into an expert haggler and brought back some real bargains for her friends and her favourite small bear. Anyway, this baker was taking a fresh batch of bread (buns and rolls, both great bear-food by the way) from his shop to a resserterrornt (I still can't spell restaurant). No pushcart for this fellow, just bung them all onto a big tray and balance it on his head. He moved quickly through the market, dodging people, cars, trucks, donkeys and policeman and he never dropped a single bun! I think he must have a very pointy head and the tray must have a big dent in it to fit over the point. After all, not even clever small bears could do this.
