Once upon a time there were five bears. The Papa
bear was the oldest. He was 39 years old. Next came the Mama bear. She
was 36 years old. Next came their son Andrew. He was 18 years old. Next
came Andrea. She was 9 years old. Last came Jessica. She was 3 years old

at 3:30. Papa bear took baby Jessica to the day care at 9:00 in the
