A wealthy Chinese Merchant named Chan was immensely proud of his collection of Teakwood carvings. One day as he was admiring his collection, he noticed to his horror that one was missing. A few days later another one turned up missing. So he laid a trap for the thief. He sprinkled powder on the floor to catch the thief”s footprints. Sure enough another teak wood carving turns up missing and he sees the footprints of a small child. So he figures, it’s only a kid, I don’t need the police for this, so that night he hides and waits for the thief.
Sure enough that night someone enters the room and Chan sees to his amazement that it’s not a little boy at all, but a bear with odd shaped feet. And the Bear reaches into the collection and takes one of the pieces. Chan by this time is beside himself with rage. He jumps out and shouts, “Where are you going, boyfoot bear with teaks of Chan?
