Beware Of The Bear:
A Tale From An Old Folks Home
On a cloudy afternoon an Interesting man visits an old folks home.
He asks the nurse, "is there a patient here that hasn't had a visitor for quite a while and if they wouldn't mind if he would visit with them for a spell?"
The nurse tells him that she thinks that she might know of someone that may like a visit. She then takes him to a room where a woman is in her bed and looking very sad.
The nurse says, "Rose this is ....uh......" The man then says, "Max! My name is Max!" The nurse goes on to say, "And he would like to know if you would like him to visit with you for a while? - Now if you don't want him to - that's perfectly fine!"
Rose looks at the nurse and then she looks at the man and says, "No, no, I would appreciate some company right now!" The nurse smiles and then says, "OK then! You two have a good visit."
Max asks Rose, "Would it be fine for me to move the chair that is next to the wall a little closer to you?
She hesitates for a while but then she nods in the affirmative.
He notices the Bible on her nightstand and says, "So you like to read the Bible?"
She statrts to tell him, "I used to like to read it, but then last night....." And then she doesn't finish her sentence.
Max then says to her, "What happened last night...if you don't mind telling me...that is?"
She looks at Max and then she looks at the Bible for several seconds and then she looks back at Max and begins to cry.
He asks her, "Would she would like him to call the nurse?"
She responds, "No! They don't believe me anyway!
"They don't believe what?" He asks her while giving her some tissue.
She wipes the tears from her eyes and starts to tell him, "There's this man....."
"Yes," he says.
"He works the nightshift and he came into my room....last night....and...and...."
