This tale is based on a well-known nursery rhyme. A bear went to the farm one night to steal corn cobs. It broke off a stick, then lost it when it broke off another… When the other animals on the farm saw this, they all ran out, eating and licking the cobs. Finally, the bear had only one corn cob left…

秋天的夜晚,在一户农家里,妈妈在给孩子讲“熊瞎子”的故事。殊不知,熊瞎子真的来啦!熊瞎子偷偷进入苞米地,辛辛苦苦地掰苞米。但是它掰一棒,丢一棒,掰一棒,又丢一棒,最后只剩下一棒。而农家院里的家畜们看到地上的苞米,表现不一:有的赶紧捡来吃,有的开始窃窃私语,有的十分紧张……最后,当全主人公一家发现熊瞎子真的来了时,故事来到高潮……
